That doesn't sound like outright fire resistance to me, but more like a greater tolerance for heat - which makes a lot more sense, as they were adept with forges and were always mining ever deeper underground, and they fought dragons. However, dwarves were definitely not completely fire-resistant, not even on the level proposed. Of all the things that have killed dwarves, two have killed the most: Dúrin's Bane and dragons. Both use fire heavily. Smaug killed many dwarves with fire at Erebor, and Thráin and Thrór were wounded by it. Dúrin's Bane killed hundreds of dwarves in Moria, many of which likely burned to death. The only times the dwarves were truly fire-resistant was when they had special armor and fought Glaurung. However, I can totally see special fire-resistant Blue Dwarven armor as viable... though maybe not for Dúrin's Folk, I don't see it as likely for them considering how badly they got rekt when fighting fire-related enemies.
