That is really incredible, its a wonder they didn’t have a Flame-Thrower—:shock:

Is that an old Brass Gas Flex Pipe too boot?..:shock:

I would recommend that the gas supply be turned off until until repaired by a qualified person.

That is incredibly dangerous and unprofessional.

That’s the kind of stuff that show up as:

Family of 5 killed when fireplace exploded.

Thanks Michael…thats what I was thinking…
