Plural of firedog; multiple metal log supports used in fireplaces or fire pits.
Standard plural of firedog, adding '-s'. Historically always used in pairs, so 'firedogs' refers to the matched set or multiple sets.
You almost never see a single firedog because physics demands a pair—one log support on each side—making it one of the few household items that practically requires plural form even when describing one installation.
