Learn MoreWhat we tell Fountain Valley parents
Hardly any Fountain Valley homes predate 1950, so old-era brick is rare here, and about 4 in 5 went up before 1980. A two-story tract house means a flue passing near bedrooms, which is what a parent should think about first. Southwest of town runs the Newport-Inglewood Fault, and hard freezes are rare. Dry Santa Ana gusts late in the year can pull a cap off, opening the flue to whatever rain falls from November to March.
Check at Home
Walk up to the bedrooms during a fire and sniff, then check the alarm, since this is where any leaking smoke would end up.
Kids and Pets
Keep a family rule that kids do not open the screen, and teach them to tell an adult if a pet or toy gets near.
What We Look At First
The flue passing near two-story bedrooms, then the cap that gusts can strip.
Next Door
We also take calls from Newport Beach, Irvine, Midway City.
