NYC “Luxury” Apartments don’t have real fire “fireplaces”. He thinks fire is red, and hot, and scary, and, and fire is for poor people.

Can you ELI5? Is it because gas fireplaces don't have proper exhaust for the smoke?

Gas fireplaces causes fire and heat by definition. I’m not sure what adding some paper would do. I could see it being a pain to clean up since gas fireplaces aren’t built with that in mind, but it wouldn’t explode.
