Burning wet wood and just sticking a piece of connector pipe into the first flue without any block off plate is a no no.
Tuesday I will have to check out permits issued for the stove installation. Also I will return and inspect the chimney to see if it can be placed back into service.
At least till tuesday these people will be staying with relitives or a Holiday inn.. If the Holiday inn I hope the get some smarts.
The fire Dept and I could not determine the extent of the damage to the chimney Whether it is even usable for the existing oil boiler.
We were also wondering about damage to possible wiring in the wall above the fireplace there are two wall mount light there.
The fire dept turned off the main breaker on the pannell
The people were not at home at the time but they will be dealing with extensive smoke damage. It appears no structural damage was done.
Buy the time I got there the fire dept had removed the big fans airing it out
