Learn MoreWhat we tell Ventura parents
Downtown and Midtown Ventura carry some of the oldest chimneys around, on Victorian and Craftsman houses. If your kids sleep beside one of them, nothing short of a look along the flue says what those decades have done. More than 500 structures here were lost to the 2017 Thomas Fire, mostly in hillside neighborhoods. Offshore thrust faults such as Pitas Point are a threat as well, and Santa Anas still carry embers and can lift a loose cap.
Check at Home
On hillside streets, check that the cap and mesh are tight every fall, and keep your go-bag somewhere that kids can help grab.
Kids and Pets
Practice loading pets into carriers ahead of fire season, so kids know what to do and a stressed dog is used to it.
What We Look At First
Ember mesh on hillside homes after Thomas, and old flues on Midtown streets.

We also take calls from Oak View, Oxnard, Ojai.
