There are three ways in which heat is transferred, in general: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction doesn't apply in this situation (since a person isn't warmed by actually touch the fiery object), but the other two do.
Radiation: A person is warmed by the heat radiating from the fire.
Convection: The fire heats the air around it, which cycles through the room, heating the person nearby.

A fire warms you by transferring what energy?
There's only one kind of heat energy. I'm guessing that you meant heat transfer. A person sitting in front of a fireplace feels two of the three kinds of heat transfer. Conduction, the first, is minimal, because there is little or no contact between the fire and the person: conduction is only through contact. Convection, the second type, is heat transfer through fluids: i.e. liquids and gases. Presumably, no liquid is involved, but the fire heats air, which heats up the person in turn. The third kind of heat is radiation, and it means heat transfer through electromagnetic waves. The fire does produce electromagnetic waves (infrared and visible, at the very least), because the chemical energy of the wood is being released. The energy that strikes the person is then absorbed, and the person feels heat.
Can one start a fire rubbing two pencils together?
You can start a fire by getting two sticks that are somewhat long and rub them together until smoke comes. Then start blowing gently and a fire will start.
What two ways does a fireplace heat a room?
By convection (air warmed by the fire circulates through the room) and radiation (infrared energy given off by the fire is transmitted directly, warming objects in line-of-sight of the fire).
