Learn MoreWhat we watch for in Westminster
Presbyterian temperance settlers founded this place in 1870, though it only incorporated in 1957, and it is now mostly stucco ranches on regular lots. Brick or block fireplaces of that period are getting old enough to deserve a real scan, tile by tile. About five miles inland, strong marine influence brings mild mornings and warm summers. Southwest of town runs the fault behind the 1933 quake, and fall gusts can strip caps and spread embers.
What Could Feed a Fire
Long-held creosote in a ranch tract flue, reached by a hot fire after years of only light use.
How Fumes Could Get In
Hairline fault-related cracks in brick or block, close to rooms of a one-story stucco ranch home.
What We Check First
Brick or block joints along the old flue, looking closely for damage from nearby fault movement.
