They are both modifiers. An adverb is the only modifier that can modify both nouns and other adverbs. In this case, very is modifying brightly, and brightly is modifying burned. Both are adverbs.

'Brightly' is an adverb, for it tells how the fire burned. 'Very' is also an adverb, telling us how brightly. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, *and* other adverbs.

Very is the modifier... if you can ask yourself "how bright" very bright.
