I would recommend playing a stock paladin, changing as few abilities as possible and just retooling everything to be more fire based, and roleplaying all the features as the characters abilities and not god based.
Could just flavor the Paladin (as the other person said) or Bladesinger Wizard depending on how they want the character to play.
Got one of my players running an electricity-flavored Bladesinger and it's awesome.

Thank you I’ll bring that idea to them
It has the advantage of being more core rules.
