through the summer small bit,s of black soot came down through the furnace, and landed on the living room floor. we went through the process of tapping the pipe,s but only got black dust, no chunk,s but now after a week of furnace being lit , small chunks are coming out again. is this a danger of a fire starting?

Soot and tar are carried up into the chimney by the smoke and rising hot air. The further from thefire, the cooler they become, and become attached to the sides of the chimney wall itself. Creosite is a dangerous deposit which can cause "flue" fires.
A good reputable chimney sweep can take care of this in one visit.
