Learn MoreWhat we tell La Palma parents
La Palma started as Dairyland in 1955, and it remains a compact place under two square miles. Most homes are stucco tracts from the 1970s, and 8 in 10 went up before 1980, so a parent should ask what a half-century has done to the flue. Marine layer mornings cool the town, about ten miles inland, and winters are gentle. Just southwest lies Newport-Inglewood, the fault behind the 1933 quake, close enough to matter for any brick left unchecked.
Check at Home
Use a long-handled tool to check that the damper fully opens before a fire, and keep your face out from under the flue.
Kids and Pets
Compact stucco homes have short sightlines, so a child or pet can reach the hearth quickly while you turn away for a moment.
What We Look At First
50-year-old flue tile and the damper, then the crown.
Next Door
We also take calls from Stanton, Buena Park, Cerritos.
