I find it's stuff directly on front of it (rugs, footstool, chair) that would catch light. I've literally piled rugs and clutter in front of one to cause a fire and it never lit, seems very low chance.
If you want automatic protection put a fire alarm in and the fire sprinkler box, together it'll activate sprinklers in the house quickly.

You can improve your fireplace with a fire gard. ( I do not know if it is the exact word, my game is in french). It helps.
It's right :) just spelt "fire guard" in English.
