What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Burbank
Many Burbank houses still have the fireplace they were built with, and a report on one of them is often the first anyone has written. We start with the basics, liner type, damper condition and cap, and write each finding so a first-time owner can follow it without a glossary. Homes near the Verdugo foothills sit close to brush, and on dry, windy days embers are the real worry. A cap with intact spark arrestor mesh is the finding we flag first on these streets, with a photo of the mesh up close.
