Read the ruleThe Rulebook in Rolling Hills
A.E. Hanson laid out this rural enclave in the 1930s for people who keep horses, and few homes predate 1950. Long one-story ranch roofs make access easy, but they are wide enough that a stack can have several different height readings. Homes were destroyed when the August 2009 Portuguese Bend fire spread in, so ember protection is a serious topic. A fault runs offshore and under the peninsula, and fog keeps metal damp in May and June.
Who Decides Here
The spark arrestor rule on wood flues comes first after 2009, and NFPA 211 sets the inspection level on the masonry below it.
Most Common Flag
A worn ember screen on a long ranch roof, close to dry brush at the edge of a horse property.
What the Air Does
Fog and sea wind reach these open lots freely, rusting fasteners and shaking any cap that has come loose.
Typical Houses
Write-ups in Rolling Hills usually cover big equestrian lots with long one-story ranch houses, nearly all owner-occupied and detached.
