the fire, is cooling, the room?

Yep. The up-draft creates a suction that draws the air out of the room and up the chimney.

when the fireplace isnt in use.. warm air will escape up the chimney pulling air from the room with it.
but when there is fire, the radiation from the fire does not cool the room.
OP's english isnt that great. not quite sure what open fire means.

Nothing wrong with OPs English. An open fire is a commonly used description for a fireplace where you have a real log/coal burning fire.
u/novatroop77s it looks like you may be in the UK - if so then you will get more UK specific advice and help on r/DIYUK

no, that's not how it works. hot air rises and escapes, pulling air from the room with it, while the fireplace isnt in use.

Those must be some powerful radiators, then.
