Fireplaces, especially gas fireplaces, don't really do much to heat your home unless a fireplace blower or fan kit is installed. A blower kit will dramatically increase the efficiency of your fireplace by helping to distribute the heated air your fireplace produces into your home.
They have kits and replacement blowers for most major brands of gas fireplaces. Even some wood fireplaces.

What is the vent to outside near your fireplace and how does it work?
IF you have a woodburning fireplace, and there is a small door- about 6 inches square on the outside of the house, check for a flip open door on the floor of your fireplace.

Shovel ashes thru the door on the floor of the fireplace, and you can remove them from the outside door without making a mess in the house. But not a vent. If that is not what you have, please post gain with a more detailed description.

If a gas fireplace is on and the electricity goes out will the fireplace continue to work?
It really all depends on the type of Fireplace you have. Fireplaces usually run on a pilot with a thermocouple or thermopile. These produce their own milivolts to run the gas valve. These type of fireplaces do not need power to ignite. If the fireplace's on/off switch is a remote that runs off of batteries or is a switch on the faceplate of the fireplace, then this fireplace should work with no power. Most fireplaces have a blower that circulates the warm air it generates. This fan would be running on 120v from the street and would not work when the power goes out. You may still have a flame on, but all the heat it generates is going out the stack. Other fireplaces have no fan and are mainly for looks. You may have a fireplace that is dependent on the 120volts and will do nothing. Check the operation manual on your fireplace.
