Request Indoor (gas?) fireplace. Any help is greatly appreciated, furnace stopped working.

This may be an easy thing to figure out, and I apologize.. it’s just an old house and I haven’t been here long.. I’ve tried everything I feel comfortable doing with it because I don’t entirely know. Any help is appreciated.

Probably a bad flame sensor, call a hvac company, or gas company

I'm sure you're aware that gas is dangerous. That said, all that you might need to do is light the pilot light. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvL_fAFRIW8

Furnaces, if it isn't something simple, quickly become an exercise in using your multi meter. If you aren't familiar with one, I recommend contacting an hvac company.
