    Heat is also (thermal) radiation. So is light, radio waves, microwaves, etc. However, the radiation from a fire or the other stuff I mentioned isn’t ionizing, so unless the heat itself does damage it won’t do cellular damage.

    You also give off thermal radiation, but so does anything higher temp than absolute zero.
