Learn MoreWhat we tell Alhambra parents
Alhambra filled in as a streetcar suburb, so about a third of its homes are from before 1950. A flue that old can carry hairline cracks, and with more than half of households renting, many families have never seen inside theirs. Hard sun by day and cooler hours after dark keep opening the mortar, then November to April rain finds the gaps. The 1991 Sierra Madre shaking was felt here as well, so an older crack may sit behind a later patch.
Check at Home
Press the test button on each carbon monoxide alarm once a month in winter, and swap any unit past the replacement date printed on its back.
Kids and Pets
Toddlers crawl where cooler smoke settles, so a room that smells smoky at floor level is a reason to let the fire die and call.
What We Look At First
A camera along the old flue tiles, then the crown and mortar that decades of sun have dried out.
Next Door
We also take calls from City Terrace, South Pasadena, El Sereno.
