Etymology
The fireplace has a long history dating back to ancient times when humans first discovered fire. Initially, fireplaces were simple holes in the ground used for cooking and warmth. Over time, they evolved into more complex structures like the ones we see today in houses and outdoor settings. Fireplaces have always been a central gathering point for families and communities, providing both practical heat and a sense of comfort and security.
