Learn MoreWhat we tell Carson parents
Most Carson families own, unusual for this part of the coast, so parents here hold the chimney decision themselves. An old masonry stack with gas logs dropped in is the usual setup, and the flue above still needs checking. In 1933 the Newport-Inglewood Fault broke at Long Beach, and unreinforced brick around Carson's part of the county suffered. Mild summers and rare freezes leave rain and the odd Santa Ana gust to work on what remains.
Check at Home
Run a gas log fire only with the damper fixed open, and leave a window cracked if the alarm has ever chirped while it was lit.
Kids and Pets
Gas fumes have no warning smell, so a tired child or a sluggish pet near the fire is reason to shut it off and get outside.
What We Look At First
How the gas logs vent, then the old masonry above the damper.
