Acrylic is plastic, you likely burned the plastic with hot ashes. You can try wet sanding it down using very fine grit sandpaper, followed by polishing, but YMMV.

rubbing alcohol might help but your probably going to have to buff it out with a Dremel
Would using super fine sandpaper be worth trying?
I'd start with cardboard, it's can give you clue if using the lightest sandpaper would work. you could probably use a clear finger nail polish to top it
