It actually doesn't emit heat like many think. If that's so the heat burning water droplets in kirin would have burned the surrounding trees and grass. Databook states it devours which is synonymous to eat and not burn. Even Samurai's state that is no ordinary flame meaning it has special properties flames normally do not possess. You haven't seen Lightning strikes? Kirin isn't much different from that. Amaterasu has only one DB entry if i remember correctly it is as hot as sun. While one can argue it can or cannot be personally i feel that it mostly refers to surface temperatures.
