What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in West Covina
Decades-old tract chimneys here are commonly brick with steel reinforcement, and the camera shows what the steel cannot: wear inside the flue. South Hills homes from the 1960s onward get an extra line on how the roof was reached and what could be seen. Mortar here may hold two rounds of cracks, from 1987 and 2008. Hillside addresses carry most of the local fire exposure because of the brush up there, so mesh and embers get covered on those reports.
