How do I open my fireplace up for the first time and tips on using it properly?

We have lived in our house for some time now but never used the fireplace. In fact, the fireplace has never been used before. I don't want to burn my house down. I have never been very good at building fires. What things do I need? Thanks!


Answer:
Isn't it a little warm for a fireplace? Aside from that... make sure everything is open. Light a piece of newspaper, hold the flame up the chimney so it will warm up the air inside it. If you don't warm it up, the smoke will go into your house. Make sure the temp in the house is cooler than the temp outside or again... the smoke will go into your house. Use a clean burning wood, or you'll have a mess to clean up.
