    We have an issue with Mice and our outside oil burner had all gaps filled with Foam sealant, I've just noticed that it's flammable, should I remove it immediately?

    A few photos would tell a lot, you also need ventilation, hence the need for photos.
    So we can tell if it's safe, the gas in your foam is highly combustible when spraying, but not when set, but the foam, when set, is not fireproof either.

    Door opened would have been helpful !!,
    Can't see much.

    But once you haven't covered the boiler and burner it's ok, the boiler sucks air in through the louvers on the door, they need to be unrestricted.
