firescreen
Blocks flying embers
A firescreen is a protective barrier placed in front of a fireplace to prevent sparks from escaping into the room and to keep children or pets at a safe distance from the flames.
Firescreens range from simple mesh panels to ornate decorative pieces: The brass firescreen had been in the family for generations.
