Learn MoreWhat we tell Bradbury owners
With about 350 housing units, nearly every one owned, this is one of the smallest cities around, and hardly any two chimneys match. No assumption holds from house to house, so each custom build gets its own explanation. Mapped very high fire hazard land covers the foothills here, and Santa Anas can push embers. The Sierra Madre Fault runs just above town, so caps, screens and mortar each earn their place on the list.
What We Look at First
The ember screen and cap before any wind season, then the custom flue and its masonry.
What Cannot Wait
An ember screen with gaps in this fire zone, cracked masonry below the fault line, a cap that rocks.
What Can Wait
Sun fade on metal parts, an outdated but working damper, staining on stone that does no harm.
