How many Finnish people still have fireplaces in their homes is a question. I bet the rural areas tend to have these, as well as wood-fired saunas, to properly warm up.
Most people live in apartments which have no fireplaces and the government has been paying people to dismantle fireplaces in their homes but people who own their own houses usually have fireplaces.
My father for example has 2 saunas in his house, one is electric and the other is wood-fired sauna and he also has a fireplace he uses for heating his house. My mother has a wood-fired sauna and a fireplace that can be used for heating the house and also for heating food.
In America the push for people to go to suburbs or rural areas was to get away from city living and apartments for this very reason. Reduced freedom by staying in a city when there is an economic downturn. Only reason most people bother doing business in a city is because of jobs.
These lessons were learned long ago a century ago but it seems history is repeating itself.
