Question: There was a black metal plate in the rear of my fireplace and it fell into a cavity below the freplace foor/hearth. What is the purpose of this cavity? What will happen if live embers fall into the cavity? There is no opening in the basement to access the cavity. How can I access it and remove the ashes I see down there?
