Answer
Hello Lorie, it is hard to make out what problem you are having but it sounds like some thing on the back wall of the firebox cam off?  
I would have a local Certified Chimney Sweep (www.csia.org, there you can look up by zip code to find one near you) take a first hand look at what you have they should be able to help.
Hope this helps
James
