To open the vent of a fireplace, locate the damper control, which is typically found inside the firebox. This may be a lever, a handle, or a chain that you can pull or push to adjust the damper. If the damper is stuck, gently move it while ensuring the fireplace is cool and not in use. Always ensure the vent is fully open before starting a fire to ensure proper airflow and ventilation.

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.
