There was a fireguard, but it was more for stopping logs rolling out of the fire than preventing us from burning ourselves. I presume my parents just warned us/stopped us if we tried to touch it.
Although, the dog did almost start a fire once! My mum was doing the washing up, and noticed she could smell smoke - more than necessary. When she went into the living room, Dog had taken a piece of wood from the fire, and was sitting on his cushion chewing one end. The other end was an ember, and had burnt a hole in the cushion! Luckily, Mum took it away before there was more than a hole, so no real damage done.
