Learn MoreWhat we tell Riverside parents
Old Craftsman and period revival homes line Riverside's Wood Streets, and Orangecrest and Canyon Crest added newer gas or factory-built units. A parent's first step is figuring out which era the house belongs to, then what that means for the flue. By the city's count, six Alessandro Heights homes burned in the July 2024 Hawarden Fire. Repeated summer heat dries out crowns and joints, Santa Ana gusts can strip caps, and the 2008 Chino Hills shaking was felt strongly here.
Check at Home
In a Wood Streets home, ask an inspector about the age of the flue before relying on any fire on the first cool night of the fall.
Kids and Pets
Hot inland afternoons turn to cool nights quickly, and a dog may flop on a warm hearth without noticing the heat, so watch for it.
What We Look At First
Old flues in the Wood Streets, or cap and mesh in Alessandro Heights.
