Most of it is conduction, but in a way is a little of all

Radiation is when the heat passes through the environment and heats something.

Convection is thanks to the hot air, something gets heated

Conduction is when heat conducts thanks to contact between two objects

In this case fire is in contact with the object so is conduction.

At the same time, you have hot air and radiation.
