I moved into a new apartment with a real wood burning fireplace and I was so excited to use it. But, my cat is terrified. She was around a fireplace as a kitten so I didn't think she'd be scared. Is there anything ing I can do to help her so I can continue to have cozy fires? Or should I just use fuzzy blankets?

Just give her time to get used to it. My Cats were all afraid of our wood stove at first, but it didn't take long for them to realize it wasn't dangerous.
