Explanation:

A fireplace is a masonry or prefabricated construction of metal and concrete that warms the environment. It is a domestic structure present in many houses, where a fire can be lit. It consists of a space lined with non-flammable materials such as stone and brick, to burn wood, and a chimney that lets smoke and other particles out. It was used for heating, cooking and lighting in old houses, but nowadays it is used mainly as decoration, or to heat houses in winter.
