Installing Gas Fireplace

[Jade Pickenheim]

We recently bought a duplex to live in one unit and rent the other. Our unit has a fireplace whose vent to chimney has been sealed, but it has a pipe coming up from the floor that is capped. We assume that's a gas line, but could it be something else? We are wanting to put a gas fireplace in this spot if it is a gas line. Does anyone know what our next steps would be to getting a gas fireplace here? Especially regarding safety? Any and all input appreciated, thank you!
