Fireplace

Fireplaces are objects most commonly found in the Basement and Cellar, but appear in later chapters as well (except for The Womb and Utero). Two fireplaces will usually be present in the Shop, in the Secret Room (unless Greed or Super Greed is encountered inside), and always in a Devil Room.

Touching the flame will do 1/2 heart damage to the player, even if they possess a flight upgrade. In addition, enemies will receive considerable damage if they happen to touch the fire; Hoppers are the only exception, as they will turn into Flaming Hoppers which are immune to fire and do more damage.

Fireplaces can be extinguished by shooting tears at them. This can cause them to drop a single heart or coin variant (a half-heart, full heart, soul heart, eternal heart, penny, nickel, or dime). Fires extinguished by explosions will not drop anything.

Hellfireplace[]

Hellfireplace

In Wrath of the Lamb, there is a chance for a normal fireplace to be replaced with a Hellfireplace. These burn with a more intense orange and can sometimes shoot slow-travelling projectiles directly at the player, which also deal 1/2 heart of damage. If the player is killed by these projectiles, it will appear on the death note that Isaac killed them. They drop items at the same rate as regular fireplaces, but will spawn them in the diagonally opposite corner instead of the actual location.

On very, rare occasions, if you walk into a Hellfireplace, you may be teleported to another room. It is unknown what the statistics are, and whether there is a chance for you teleport to the I AM ERROR room. (More research is needed )
