Is it a fire hazard if you have a gas log set for your fireplace and there is a dry wreath hanging above the?

mantle of the fireplace. it looks like the pilot light is buried pretty well under the logs, if something fell in could it catch fire?





also, is it risky to have something dry too close to the fireplace? could a pilot light ever shoot a spark?

gas is volatile....anything that you have hanging over a pilot could be a hazard....if it falls into the fireplace you could be safe if it stays there but if it falls out then you have trouble...i wouldnt suggest hanging anything on the mantle unless you are there to keep an eye on things...if it is putting off heat then yes there is potential for something to heat to the point that it ignites although the distance from your mantle to the flame should be far enough... its better to be safe than sorry - i just wouldnt do it
Reply:I wouldn't leave it un attended as for any fireplace
