Theoretically, could someone get a sunburn from a fireplace?!
Question: if so, do you think that the person would develop skin cancer as a result?

No...sunburn is caused by the sun's UVA rays, ultraviolet radiation, which in turn can cause wrinkles and cancer. Burns from a fire are thermal burns-or burns caused by heat. You would have to be next to a flaming inferno, probably filled with other dangerous things, to get any other kind of burn.
You would not get a sun burn. But yes your skin could get burned from the heat from a fire place..So be carefull.
Not a sun burn but a red face from to much heat yes.. its a burn non the less.. no one incident of a burn is unlikely to cause skin cancer.. but ya just never know..
good luck
