As stated in this answer about Game of Thrones fire can burn any Targaryen.



If that is the case, why doesn't fire hurt Daenerys?



In one of the episodes of season 1 or season 2, Daenerys says Viserys is not a true heir to the throne as he got burnt. Why did she say that?

    The answer you linked is based on the books, but this is one of many times where the show clearly deviates from the books. Daenerys gets burned in the books and GRRM said outright that she isn't fire-proof. In the show, she holds the hot dragon egg that burns her handmaiden and her plot against the Khals revolves around her fire resistance. This ability is limited to her, however, as her brother and Jon both are affected normally by heat.

Targaryens aren't fire-proof.



According to GRRM, Daenarys is special.




Granny: Do Targaryens become immune to fire once they "bond" to their dragons?



George_RR_Martin: Granny, thanks for asking that. It gives me a chance
to clear up a common misconception. TARGARYENS ARE NOT IMMUNE TO FIRE!
The birth of Dany's dragons was unique, magical, wonderous, a miracle.
She is called The Unburnt because she walked into the flames and
lived. But her brother sure as hell wasn't immune to that molten gold.



Revanshe: So she won't be able to do it again?



George_RR_Martin: Probably not.




As to whether Dany is completely fire-proof there is some further, very detailed reading over on Reddit.

As for the line "fire cannot kill a dragon," this is misinterpreted to mean "fire cannot kill a Targaryen," adding to the confusion about Daenerys' fire resistance. This is not commentary on her own ability. Instead, she is refuting Viserys' previous claims to be "the dragon" -




No! You cannot touch me! I am the dragon! I am the dragon! I want my crown! Ahh!




Viserys also previously used the phrase "wake the dragon" when threatening Daenerys. At first she is frightened of him, but comes to recognize his weakness over time. When she says he wasn't a dragon, she is accepting that her brother was never what she thought he was.

    As for the line "fire cannot kill a dragon," this is misinterpreted to mean "fire cannot kill a Targaryen," adding to the confusion about Daenerys' fire resistance. This is not commentary on her own ability. Instead, she is refuting Viserys' previous claims to be "the dragon" -




    No! You cannot touch me! I am the dragon! I am the dragon! I want my crown! Ahh!




    Viserys also previously used the phrase "wake the dragon" when threatening Daenerys. At first she is frightened of him, but comes to recognize his weakness over time. When she says he wasn't a dragon, she is accepting that her brother was never what she thought he was.
