The firefighter felt the heat due to thermal energy transferred primarily by radiation, which involves the emission of infrared waves. This process allows heat to be sensed even without direct contact, as seen when standing in sunlight or near a hot oven. The human skin is particularly sensitive to infrared radiation, enabling the detection of heat sources efficiently.
