Firebox Insulation?

[mmurphy4 (Matthew A. Murphy, 450.0004202)]

Found what appears to be insulation in the firebox of a fireplace. I am thinking it may have been brought there by a mouse. Any other ideas?

Matt, those are “glowing embers” typically found in vented gas log sets.

You are joking right?
