Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can try withholding food from Diamond (she can have water) for 1/2 day to give her stomach a break, however, if Diamond continues vomiting, the material from the fire logs could be causing a gastrointestinal obstruction that will require a veterinary visit. Keep on the look out for continued vomiting, lethargy, or diarrhea and please see her veterinarian if you notice any of these concerning signs. Your veterinarian may recommend taking an x-ray or abdominal ultrasound to help rule out an obstruction. I hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
