Whenever people tell me about having a traditional wood burning fireplace I think that it sounds amazing, but of course, it’s a joy to kneel in front of a roaring flame and appreciate the ambient heat that it produces, but something about the lighting and the decoration of the fireplace will also add something joyful to your life, then however, people entirely need to be aware of how dangerous a wood-burning fireplace can be even if you are a grown adult. This was something I found out the difficult way multiple years ago when I was living in an lake house by myself. One night I nearly burned the place to the ground thanks to a small dose of carelessness, but both of us had the fireplace roaring all night as my friends and I lounged around the study room with wine. Towards the end of the night, everybody started to head back lake loft in the frosty Wintertide hot and cold temperatures. I also got ready for bed and started to retire when I realized that I had forgotten to supply my pet more water. I wandered back into the study room and put some ice cold water into a current bowl! Just then, I heard a odd sound. I turned my head in time to see a coal bouncing out of the fireplace and onto my carpet. Immediately, the carpeting ignited. I ran over and stomped out the fire before I entirely heated the place up. If I hadn’t been awake to put out the alternate heating source, I don’t guess what would have happened. And that is the night that I developed a phobia of wood burning fireplaces.
