My heater never worked either
All it was good for was drunk driving into the snow banks on each side of the road. That is, when it started.

Uncle had a yellow one back in 1981. Getting ready to drive from L.A. to Santa Cruz, he handed me 5 books of matches. I asked what are these for, he tells me to put them along the upper edges of the door window to cut down on wind noise.

I live about ten miles from one. It's south of your map, Mt.Konocti in Lake County, CA, It last erupted 11,000 years ago, but I think still considered "active". There's a geothermal plant nearby and lots of small earthquakes almost every day. Not many you can feel, though.
