What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Hidden Hills
Ranch-style lots planned around 1950 have gradually filled with custom replacements, so a street here holds several ages of fireplace. Masonry and newer systems sit side by side, and every report confirms which one the owner actually has, chimney by chimney. Parts of Hidden Hills are mapped Very High for fire hazard, and canyon summers are far hotter than the shore. With shaking from 1994 in its past, each report covers embers, sun damage and old cracks in that order.
