Presume it's an oil boiler? Press the lockout button on the burner. You need to take the front cover of the boiler off. If it doesn't fire then it'll need attention. (Firing sequence up to about 30 seconds). If it works for a minute then locks out make sure the oil line isn't frozen. Oil doesn't freeze till around -30 deg but water can get into the oil line and that can freeze. (Not a common occurence but it does happen.)

Unfortunately it sounds as if there's something wrong with the boiler.
