A fire poker is a long, sturdy tool used to manage and tend to a fire in a fireplace or fire pit. Typically made of metal, it allows users to safely move logs, adjust burning materials, and maintain the fire's intensity without getting too close to the flames. Fire pokers come in various designs and lengths, often featuring a pointed end for poking and a handle for a secure grip. They are commonly found alongside other fireplace tools, such as fireplace tongs and shovels, to help create a safe and enjoyable fire experience.
