How often should you get your fireplace cleaned out?

I know you’re supposed to get someone to come in and clean the fireplace out because it can cause fires but I don’t know how often and I don’t want to question a company because they’ll probably tell me whatever is going to benefit them most. My ancient house caught on fire because of it (this was during the previous owner’s ownership) but fortunately only that room was terribly hurt because the fire company arrived very quickly (the house is right next to a state park). Anyhow any thoughts would be appreciated…Thanks!

How do I clean my fireplace after using a fire extinguisher to put out a fire?

Long tale small….I forgot to open the vent. My husband has banned me from starting any more fires in the fire place. But he will still use it. What steps do I need to take to ensure it is safe to use the fireplace again (besides open the vent)?
