Fire Resistance nullifies most fire-based damage. Fire Resistance is a status effect that does not change its power as its potency changes.

Under lava fire resistance

What it looks like inside lava using Fire Resistance.

Effects

Grants immunity to damage from fire, blaze fireballs, fire charges, magma blocks, and lava, similar to /gamerule fireDamage false. Negates the fire damage from bows enchanted with Flame and swords enchanted with Fire Aspect, but does not affect the attacks themselves. Players also see better under lava when they have the Fire Resistance effect. In Bedrock Edition, the view with the effect is stronger than in Java Edition.[1]

Immune mobs

All boss mobs and all Nether Mobs except piglins, zombified piglins, hoglins, and zoglins. Witches will also be immune if they drink a Potion of Fire resistance.

Notes

Most Nether mobs (excluding endermen, skeletons, piglins and hoglins) are naturally resistant to fire and lava without requiring the Fire Resistance status effect.

While Fire Resistance prevents fire damage, it does not prevent the fire itself, meaning the fire obstructing the player's view is still visible. This also means that fire persisting after the effect expires can damage the entity.
