At the end of 1959, we moved from a duplex in Pensacola out to a house closer to Whiting Field where Bob was doing pilot training. The only heat was this fireplace. - this was January in the Florida panhandle and one day that winter we got a tiny bit of snow. (Didn't last long and wasn't enough to make a snowball. So we needed heat) I experimented taking a photo of the fire after one night when Bob was night flying, there was a swarm of termites. They are positively phototropic so they headed for the ceiling light. I turned the light off, and they flew into the TV So I turned it off and went to bed. That turned the termites into kamikaze because they flew to the only light in the room which was the fire in the fireplace and incinerated themselves. VICTORY

Can you see the problem with this fireplace?

The fireplace had no way to keep logs from rolling out onto the floor. Once a log rolled out onto the floor there wasn't really a way to get it back. I tried to pick it up with broom handles (it was burning) but it rolled off. I finally stud it on end, and it made a burn mark in the vinyl tile.

But there was no other heat other than the fireplace so we had to use it.

I assume you put some kind of screen in place the next day, right?

There would have been no place to put it - so no, no screen
