From a Hints from Heloise article:

"Dear Heloise:

Hopefully, people had their wood-burning chimney inspected and cleaned, if needed. The thing I'd like to discuss is the importance of having gas log systems inspected.

If the logs were installed in a fireplace that once used wood but was not cleaned before the installation, the creosote is still in the chimney, and the potential for a chimney fire still exists.

Another thing to remember is that birds will build nests in a fireplace--they care not what you burn. With a bird's nest possibly blocking the proper venting of the chimney, carbon monoxide could be entering the living area. So have a professional chimney sweep check to see if you might have a life-threatenting problem."
