What do Alpine chimneys need?
East County's El Cajon, Santee, Alpine, and Lakeside sit in CalFire's High or Very High Fire Severity Zone. Spark arrester compliance is mandatory, and heavy real-use fireplaces in this area generate the most Stage 2 and Stage 3 creosote in the county. Annual rotary-chain sweep plus cap-mesh inspection is essentially required for safety and insurance compliance.
