Initial text
The area around a solid fuel fireplace (where embers can also form and exit the combustion chamber during filling) must be protected by a non-combustible backing.
The presence or absence of a residual trace beneath the surface of the fireplace installation is immaterial because it is not visible.
The danger comes from glowing components that can escape from the fireplace and create a fire hazard.
