Learn MoreWhat we tell South El Monte parents
Single brick chimneys top the small ranch homes of South El Monte, often with some steel inside, but decades old now. Whittier Narrows was centered very close in 1987, so that steel does not settle the matter for a family with young kids. Summer heat followed by cool nights makes crowns and mortar expand and shrink every year. The 1987 quake damaged the area around town, and winter rain shows up cracks as leaks, with no-burn days declared in the same season.
Check at Home
Open the damper and shine a flashlight up before lighting, and stop if you spot fallen mortar or broken tile lying on the smoke shelf.
Kids and Pets
Modest rooms mean a fire never feels far away, so treat the area in front of the screen as off limits to kids and pets alike.
What We Look At First
