What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Walnut
Almost all Walnut homes are detached, with half built after 1982. Factory-built metal fireplaces wear differently than brick, so the report tracks flue joints and caps, not mortar. Older houses from the 1960s are written up on separate masonry terms. Even newer metal runs get checked for shifted joints here, because the 2008 epicenter lay only a few miles east. Wind-driven embers from nearby brushy hills also put mesh close to the head of the list.
