Malibu chimneys sit inside the Woolsey Fire corridor, where salt-heavy air wears down cap hardware built to keep embers out. We treat spark arrestors as frontline defense here, not an optional upgrade.

Multiple chimney systems are common on Beverly Hills estates with custom masonry and imported stone surrounds, and each stack needs its own cap and spark arrestor evaluated rather than one blanket check. Ember protection has to be verified stack by stack behind that stonework, not assumed from the finish.
