fireplace
Let an agent handle fireplaces by type, fuel, installation, safety and regulation, especially carbon monoxide and chimney fire risks.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle fireplaces by type, fuel, installation, safety and regulation, especially carbon monoxide and chimney fire risks.
