Explanation:

Heat transfer occurs from a higher - temperature source (fire) to lower - temperature objects (skewer and marshmallow) by conduction. The fire is the source of thermal energy which is transferred to the skewer and marshmallow.

Thermal energy in the form of heat moved from the fire to the skewer and marshmallow.
