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.
