How could mammals evolve to resist damage from fire?

In a story I am writing, some animals (including sentient ones) can touch fire without being harmed.

Not any kind of fire, though. They can caress the fire of a candle with a finger, and they can have their paws or hands inside a fireplace for a few seconds with only some disconfort and pain but no injuries. More than that harms them. They can still die from burns in a house fire (though they are more likely to survive one, and with less severe wounds) and their bodies can be cremated into ashes.
