What are the requirements for a wood burning or gas fireplace?

They are both considered a fireplace and fall under the same codes (New: 18.5.2.2-5.2.3 Existing: 19.5.2.3-5.2.3). Electric/Plug in fireplaces are considered portable space heaters and must adhered to space-heating requirements (New: 18.7.8 Existing: 19.7.8).
