fire guards

Fireplace safety screens

Fire guards are protective screens or barriers placed in front of fireplaces to prevent sparks from escaping and to keep children or pets at a safe distance from flames.

The term also refers to people assigned to watch for and prevent fires, particularly in forests or during wartime blackouts when incendiary bombs were a threat.
