Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Ojai
Edward Libbey backed a Spanish Colonial rebuilding of downtown about 1917, and roughly three quarters of homes here are detached. Half predate 1971. At this distance, about 76 miles from Long Beach, the question stays the same: is the flue sound, and what can wait? Frosty winter nights and hot summers make this valley harder on crowns than the coast. A Santa Ana gust may shift a cap or carry an ember, and to the north lie regional faults, the Santa Ynez among them.
What Could Feed a Fire
Fire-weather embers finding a cap loosened by Santa Ana gusts, with creosote from cold winter nights lying below.
How Fumes Could Get In
Frost-opened cracks at the crown letting water in, which loosens joints along the flue toward the room.
What We Check First
Frost cracks on the crown and wind damage to the cap, then the liner by camera.
