Learn MoreWhat we watch for in South El Monte
About two thirds of homes are detached post-war houses, often with a single brick chimney reinforced by now-aging steel. Half the housing predates 1959. Apartments make up most of the rest, and a fireplace in one calls for a different conversation than in a tract home. Whittier Narrows was centered very close to this city in 1987 and damaged the area around it. Hot dry summers and cool winter nights work on the crown, and a dry gust in fall can shift a cap or carry an ember.
What Could Feed a Fire
Heat passing a broken joint in a 60-year-old brick chimney, after the shaking of 1987 and years of use.
How Fumes Could Get In
Rusted steel swelling inside old masonry, cracking tile and opening a route for exhaust into the home.
What We Check First
Tile and any rust-stained brick from the firebox up, because the quake center of 1987 lay very close.
