What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Simi Valley
Half of Simi Valley predates 1980, and the older half tends to have a single reinforced brick chimney, now decades old. Wood Ranch and Big Sky are a different story, with newer homes and different systems, so reports name the neighborhood before the findings. Metal and crowns in this closed valley answer to heat and frost far more than salt. The Woolsey Fire started south of town in 2018, so mesh is rated, and faults to the north and east justify detailed crack notes.
