I would not put a WM bag next to a fire. You spent way too much on that bag to ruin it. When I winter camp, I make sure that I don't need a fire to stay warm. A fire is nice, and I do use them, but they shouldn't be a necessity.
However, if you want to sleep somewhat close to the fire, I would bring a wool blanket and cover your WM bag with it for protection.
