Learn MoreWhat we tell Whittier parents
Quakers founded Whittier in 1887, and Uptown's Craftsman bungalows are among its oldest homes. The 1987 quake bears this city's name, and it damaged a lot of chimneys here, so a family's bungalow brick has a very specific history to check. Whittier Narrows hurt the old brick of Uptown, and many homes and chimneys around it. Brush in the Puente Hills along the city's north side is a fire concern, and winter rain comes through any crown left unrepaired.
Check at Home
If your chimney was rebuilt after 1987, try to find any paperwork, and if there is none, have it looked at before a family fire.
Kids and Pets
Bungalow porches and yards let kids play by the chimney base, so keep them and the dog away if any brick looks loose.
What We Look At First
1987 damage and repairs on Uptown brick, then the ember mesh near the hills.
