Turns out that the furnace did not blow a fuse. The red power line was neatly sliced in half... hmmm. The connector had come off, or the nice or the water or something had taken it apart.

Mechanic is here! It is not the starter

He unhooked it and it started off the battery.

He mentioned the neutral safety switch which others here have mentioned.

And where is the neutral safety switch......
