Learn MoreWhat we tell Manhattan Beach parents
Small Manhattan Beach cottages from after 1900 are being replaced by tall houses on the same narrow lots. Those new places usually run factory-built gas units, while a surviving cottage may still have masonry, so a parent's checklist depends on the age of the house. Cool ocean air keeps this town mild all year, and frost is rare, so age and damp are the slow threats here. Southwest of town, offshore, lies the Palos Verdes Fault, and winter no-burn alerts cover wood but leave gas alone.
Check at Home
In a multi-story house, test the alarm on every level, since a gas leak or flue problem low down may not reach the bedrooms quickly.
Kids and Pets
In a tall new house, the gas fireplace may be on the main living floor, so keep the barrier on and carry toddlers well clear of the hot glass.
What We Look At First
The gas unit and its glass on rebuilds, and the old brick on surviving cottages.
Next Door
We also take calls from Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Hawthorne.
