Learn MoreWhat we tell Riverside County parents
Half of Riverside County's roughly 870,000 homes have gone up since about 1990, so a parent in Temecula or Menifee most likely has a factory-built or gas unit. Mid-century desert houses and Idyllwild's mountain homes raise their own separate questions, so one rule will not do. Summer heat in the Coachella Valley is extreme, while Idyllwild sits high enough, over 5,000 feet, for snow and freezing nights that stress masonry. San Andreas, San Jacinto and Elsinore all run through here, and the 2013 Mountain Fire emptied Idyllwild.
Check at Home
In Idyllwild, look for flaking brick after a freeze, and in the desert, look for sun-cracked sealant around the flashing before winter.
Kids and Pets
A desert home's fireplace may sit unused for months, so check for nests and teach kids the rules again before the first cool evening.
What We Look At First
Fireplace type and elevation, since a desert tract and a mountain home need different checks.
Next Door
We also take calls from Idyllwild, Riverside, Menifee.
