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.
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. If that is what you have, this is not a vent, but an ash clean-out. 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.
There are some glass doors for a fireplace, but you must make sure that the glass can withstand the heat of the fire. The glass door will prevent some heat from escaping, but not all. The glass door will not aid in keeping a room warm.
The fireplace's heat is an example of radiation.
It is important that you KEEP THE FIREPLACE VENT DAMPER OPEN when you are using it. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN LEAD TO CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND DEATH.

A fireplace blower is a device that helps to improve the efficiency of a fireplace by circulating warm air throughout the room. It works by drawing in cool air from the room, passing it over the hot surface of the fireplace, and then blowing the warmed air back into the room. This helps to distribute heat more evenly and effectively, making the fireplace more efficient at heating the space.
To work a fireplace effectively and safely, follow these steps: Make sure the chimney is clean and clear of debris. Use dry, seasoned wood for a cleaner burn. Open the damper before lighting a fire to allow for proper ventilation. Use a fireplace screen to prevent sparks from escaping. Never leave a fire unattended and always extinguish it before going to bed. Keep flammable items away from the fireplace. Install carbon monoxide and smoke detectors near the fireplace. Have the fireplace inspected and cleaned annually by a professional.
