what causes my oil fired central heating system to backfire?

my heating has started to backfire, filling the house with fumes can anyone tell me why

needs a service right away, flue choked or exhaust chambers blocked probably due to wrong oil/air mix get this fixed by a pro.

hard to tell as you don't mention boiler make / model.
stop using the system right away and call out a service engineer.
