What happens to ashes in fire place over time?

Question:

Answers:
You have to remove the ashes (hence when you see fireplace tools, one of them is a shovel).

Older homes that have fireplaces sometimes have a removeable tile of sorts on the "floor" of the fireplace. When you lift that tile, you sweep the ashes into it. In my late father's house, the ashes fell through a narrow passage that was bricked and collected in a box in the basement. before Dad swept the ashes down, he always let the ashes sit overnight to cool and always checked to be sure there were no embers that could ignite a fire.
Someone else takes them out, I guess.
They continue to accumulate.
They accumulate unless you remove it and send it to trash or somehow the wind rain or other elements move it from the fireplace.
They evaporate. =D
a big fat jolly elf comes in once a year, and while leaving presents, his worker elves come in with a shovel and pail to take them away, while he eats cookies and milk
They stay ashes
