Does fireplace propane pose a higher fire risk?
Fireplace propane if used correctly should pose no higher fire risk than a fireplace that doesn't use propane. But as with any other fireplace you should take the required precautions to insure the fire risk is low. Propane is heavier than air, and extra precautions should be used anytime propane is used indoors at a level higher than the lowest level of the structure. That is, if a basement is present, propane used on the first floor creates a risk if not properly monitored.
