What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Santa Paula
An older core of lightly reinforced brick chimneys, the kind quakes break most easily, sits beside later ranch tracts here. A report takes those two seriously in different ways, and states clearly which chimney the owner has. Mesh goes on page one here, a direct result of the 2024 Mountain Fire and the evacuations it caused. Bigger temperature swings than the coast stress mortar and caps, and older masonry may still carry marks from Northridge.
