Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Monrovia
Boom years in the 1880s gave Old Town its Victorian and Craftsman houses, and period homes climb the streets above Foothill Boulevard. More than 1 home in 4 dates from before 1950. That old masonry may hide patchwork, so a look from the firebox alone tells you very little. Rain falls harder here than on the basin floor, and that moisture works with heat and wind on crowns and caps. Two faults pass through or close to town, and the 2020 Bobcat Fire brought evacuation warnings.
What Could Feed a Fire
Embers from mountain fires reaching old hillside chimneys, where a worn cap leaves creosote exposed below.
How Fumes Could Get In
Shifted tile near the Sierra Madre and Raymond faults, in brick old enough to have been patched more than once.
What We Check First
Patchwork on the old masonry first, and then the tile behind it on camera for fault movement.

We often visit Azusa, El Monte and Duarte on the same day as Monrovia.
