Help, how to say

Is it right to say: my fireplace is on.

Thanks.

It might be understood in a suitable context, for example if you have one of those heaters that is built into a fireplace and looks like a fire. Generally, though, you would say My fire/heater is on (if it is not a real fire), or I have a fire going/burning in the fireplace.
