I could not think it when the other morning I was using our fireplace and found that the flames were going way out of control! I am not sure what happened or why.
But the flames from the fireplace were coming out into the living room.
I had to put out the fireplace immediately before it hit something and caught the rug or something else on fire and burned down our house! It was a real horrifying thing and almost caused the biggest concern I think I ever experienced with our fireplace. I have had this fireplace for several years and this is the really first time something love this ever had happened. I called a fireplace professional to check things out to see what was going on with the fireplace. According to what they told myself and others after looking into it, it was because I used a certain style of firewood that causes the fire to go a bit wild. I did not suppose anything about this. They explained to myself and others about the firewood and I suppose now not to get this kind ever again for our fireplace. It was a pretty close call. Had I not been right in front of the fireplace when this happened I honestly would have had a extreme accident which could have set our entire beach house on fire! But now that I suppose that the firewood I used was not wonderful for our fireplace, I will not make the same mistake again and keep better control of our fireplace and the wood that I use.
