Learn MoreWhat we tell San Gabriel parents
Nearly 4 in 10 homes in San Gabriel predate 1950, on the Spanish Revival and Craftsman streets near the mission. Unreinforced brick from then is the kind quakes break most easily, and a parent should not stack the Thanksgiving fire on it without a look. Along the valley's north side, close by, lies the Raymond Fault, and Santa Ana gusts can pry at a loose cap. Hot, dry summers followed by cool nights make crowns and mortar swell and shrink year after year.
Check at Home
Before any big family gathering, light a small test fire and watch for smoke, instead of finding out with a full house of relatives.
Kids and Pets
A crowded holiday room makes it easy to lose track of a toddler or the dog, so have one adult in charge of the fire.
What We Look At First
Unreinforced brick near the mission, then the postwar tract flues nearby.
Next Door
