The people I was with and I had a tense moment Last year while every one of us were using our fireplace.
Now, you’re never supposed to leave a fire unattended, especially the fireplace in your home! This is why some people choose to get either gas fireplaces or electric a singles, so they don’t have to deal with the risk of a fire in the home.
Of course, everybody enjoys the authentic feeling of a wood burning fireplace, so you must take precautions. In our case, every one of us weren’t using a spark guard in front of the fireplace. On top of that, I was cooking in the kitchen. I asked our son to keep an eye on the fireplace, despite the fact that he was too scheduled playing his online game when a spark flew out of the fireplace and caught the carpet on fire. Suddenly, the smoke alarms were blaring and I instinctively grabbed the fire extinguisher. I saw the smoke coming from the part of the fireplace and ran over there and started spraying where I saw flames. Fortunately, I was able to get all the fire out and the whole arena didn’t burn down. I got everybody out of the home and opened all the windows to air out the smoke. Fortunately, only the carpet was burned and it didn’t destroy the wood flooring beneath it, so every one of us had that carpet replaced. The people I was with and I got a spark guard for the fireplace so this never happens again. It would have been bad had our whole home burned down, but I’m ecstatic that everybody is okay and every one of us have taken steps to prevent this kind of thing from happening down the road.
