Read the ruleThe Rulebook in Glendora
Four of 5 homes here are older than 1980. Valley floor ranch houses were built with brick or block and many have since gone to gas, so the job is checking whether the flue was ever matched to what now burns below it. Colby in 2014 destroyed homes in north Glendora, so wood flues there deserve working spark protection. Heavy rain near the mountains soaks joints and flashing, while cooler nights add movement.
Who Decides Here
NFPA 211 applies on the valley floor, and the spark arrestor rule carries the most weight on foothill streets after the Colby Fire.
Most Common Flag
A missing spark arrestor on a wood flue in north Glendora, where the 2014 fire destroyed homes.
What the Air Does
Foothill rain hits harder than on the valley floor, and any gap in the flashing lets it run into the attic.
Typical Houses
Write-ups in Glendora usually cover 1920s to 1940s brick chimneys, postwar ranch tracts, and later gas log conversions on the valley floor.
