A fireplace is a special open place in the wall of a room where you build a fire to warm the house. There is a hole for the smoke to go up, a floor of brick or stone for the wood, and often a shelf above. In cold countries this used to be the heart of the home; people sat around it in the evening. In Taiwan you mostly see a fireplace in a mountain cabin, a Western-style house, or a picture — city apartments almost never have a real one, though some have a fake frame for looks. Do not mix it up with a fire station. A fireplace is inside a living room, and the fire is there on purpose.
