Roommates Lighting Fireplace Despite Failed Fire Inspection (usa). What Should I Do?

Card image cap

My three roommates insist on some majority wins on using our fireplace despite the fact that we failed fire inspection. Call me paranoid but we are renting in a pretty expensive townhouse. God forbid our place caught fire, it could easily cost millions in property damage including neighboring houses. Looking online it seems like even if I get renters insurance it would be voided for failing inspection and knowingly using the fireplace.

I am on the cusp of studying abroad. After this month I will be gone 6 months. What should I do here? Im assuming notifying the landlord will bite me with a rent increase, or nightmare roommates.
