Learn MoreWhat we tell El Monte parents
El Monte was settled in the 1850s, but most of what stands is small postwar housing, and 6 in 10 households rent. A family in a small rental with old gas logs still has a right to know the flue is doing its job. Whittier Narrows struck close to town in 1987, and older masonry across the valley paid for it. Sun and daily swings have kept working on mortar since then, and wood fires may be barred on winter alert days.
Check at Home
When the South Coast no-burn alert is on, do not burn wood, and if gas logs are all you have, keep the damper open every time.
Kids and Pets
A small front room leaves little space around a hearth, so move the couch, toys and pet bed away before anyone lights a fire.
What We Look At First
Whittier Narrows cracks on camera, then the gas log damper.
Next Door
We also take calls from West Covina, San Gabriel, Temple City.
