dimath,

Well, assuming fire temperature to be 800C and temperature drop off close to 1/r² - you need to be approximately 28 meters away from a point source to feel 1 degree Celsius increase in temperature. Forest fire is not a point source, it’s a wall of fire, but give it or take - 100 m away it you shouldn’t feel any heat coming from the first fire.
