Learn MoreWhat we tell Signal Hill parents
Long Beach surrounds Signal Hill on every side, and from the 1980s on, redevelopment brought condos, townhomes and hilltop homes. Many of those have metal flues and caps that wear unlike brick, and a parent in one should know how it was put together. A fault made this hill, the Newport-Inglewood, and it still crosses town. Morning damp speeds rust on steel caps and flashing, and from November to March rain can get through any failed crown or joint.
Check at Home
Ask your homeowners association whether the chimney is part of what they maintain, and note the answer before any winter fire.
Kids and Pets
Hilltop wind can gust down a flue and spill a puff of smoke, so keep kids and pets a few steps from the opening.
What We Look At First
Rust on steel caps, then the flue where it crosses the fault-shaken hill.
