Learn MoreWhat we tell Corona owners
Only a quarter of homes here predate 1980, and most units are factory metal or gas. Near Grand Boulevard, though, early 1900s bungalows still have brick. So this city splits into two simple cases, and we tell you which is yours. Elsinore's fault zone follows the Temescal Valley here, and a strong autumn wind might strip a cap or carry embers. Winters stay mild, without many hard freezes, and No-Burn days limit wood fires on alert days.
What We Look at First
Old brick along Grand Boulevard, or metal flue and gas parts elsewhere, then the cap.
What Cannot Wait
An old bungalow chimney with open joints, a cap stripped by wind, a metal flue section apart.
What Can Wait
Dull metal, faded stucco, a chipped bungalow hearth with no looseness.
