From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And the princes, governors, and captains -Notes,Daniel 3:3. And the king’s counselors -Notes,Daniel 3:24. Being gathered together, saw these men -There could be no mistake about the reality of the miracle. They came out as they were cast in. There could have been no trick, no art, no legerdemain, by which they could have been preserved and restored. If the facts occurred as they are stated here, then there can be no doubt that this was a real miracle. Upon whose bodies the fire had no power -That is, the usual power of fire on the human body was prevented. Nor was a hair of their head singed -That which would be most likely to have burned.
