Learn MoreWhat we tell Downey parents
Aerospace jobs built Downey's suburbs in the 1940s and 1950s, and those single-story ranch houses are now more than 60 years old. A low fireplace sits near where children play, so an unchecked flue is close to the family. Rain from November to April tests worn crowns and flashing, and street trees can drop debris on a cap. Two quakes, Chino Hills and La Habra, reached this city, and a crack from either would not be visible from the street.
Check at Home
Trim branches back from the top of the chimney on tree-lined streets, and sweep leaves off the roof near it before the rain arrives.
Kids and Pets
Marshmallow sticks and little hands do not mix with a low ranch hearth, so an adult holds the stick and the screen goes back right after.
What We Look At First
Crown and flashing under the street trees, then a camera down the ranch flue.
Next Door
We also take calls from Bell Gardens, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs.
