Learn MoreWhat we tell Maywood parents
Hardly any new homes go up in Maywood, and 44 percent of what stands predates 1950. Roughly 7 in 10 households rent, so a mother in one of those old houses may be living with a brick chimney nobody has opened up in years. Long Beach and Whittier Narrows both shook this ground, the sort of history older brick keeps. Morning clouds visit in late spring, rain comes from November on, and no-burn alerts cover wood fires.
Check at Home
Keep at least one carbon monoxide alarm near the children's beds, and tell the landlord if it ever sounds with the fireplace burning.
Kids and Pets
Low brick edges in old houses make hard landings for toddlers, and a fire behind them makes it worse, so block the area off during winter.
What We Look At First
Old brick after two strong quakes, then whether the flue draws cleanly.
Next Door
We also take calls from Bell, East Los Angeles, Cudahy.
