Fireplace wall

largepants · 2011-03-26 19:33:22

The back wall of my fireplace is after crumbling and a hole has appeared in it. Obviously it will have to be repaired but in the meantime can I still light a fire in it or would it be considered dangerous?

I'm not sure of the difference between the firebrick and wall to be honest to be honest. It seems I can see the wall behind the fireplace where the hole is.

I can post a pic ok but it won't be till tomorrow. Thanks for the reply.
