Read the ruleThe Rulebook in Diamond Bar
About half of these homes postdate 1980, so factory-built fireplaces lead the count. Larger homes in The Country may carry more than one, and each has its own label, cap rules and list of allowed parts. Evacuations came with the 2008 Freeway Complex as it moved in by way of Tonner Canyon, which puts spark control at the front of the list. Sun and daily swings stress crowns, and shaking reached town in 2014.
Who Decides Here
A metal unit follows its own listing, and the spark arrestor rule on wood flues takes on real weight along Tonner Canyon.
Most Common Flag
A wind-loosened cap on a metal flue, with no working spark screen on a hillside facing open brush.
What the Air Does
Dry fall gusts move across these slopes with little to slow them, and they can lift a poorly fastened cap in one night.
Typical Houses
Write-ups in Diamond Bar usually cover 1970s and 1980s hillside tract homes with metal fireplaces, plus large gated homes in The Country.
