All depends on How Much heat your talking about. General rule: if it is more than a concrete will experience from the sun, special concretes and additives should be employed. There are specialized products such as Fire Brick for use in a fireplace. Any mortar, grout or cementitious products used in a fireplace should also be able to stand excess or out of the ordinary heat temperatures. Common problem to a Type 1 concrete that has been exposed to fire is it becomes what is called "Friable". Lost strength! Heat a normal concrete fast enough and it will explode when the moisture inside expands!
