It would have to be raining perfectly straight down for the water to reach the fireplace and the actual size of the chimney on the inside is not as wide as you might think. Water definitely gets inside and it's not ideal especially on the long run but it's still relatively small amounts so it's not a huge deal. Also not all chimneys lead straight into the fireplace. There may be bends on the way that trap the water.
