No lintel in fireplace

I've recently started trying to open up my fireplace by clearing out the soot and rubble. I've noticed that there is no lintel above the opening, and I don't know whether or not I need one. Currently there's just one line of bricks that are cemented onto the wall. The house was built in 1955 using poured concrete, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. I understand why a lintel is needed with a normal brick chimney stack, however is this the case with a concrete stack?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
