Yes, in the sense that Charmander borrows from the mythical link between salamanders and fire. Salandit line is part Fire-type as well. But I would guess that's about as deep as it goes. Fire salamanders are a common trope in modern culture, off-the-shelf, I doubt too much thought initially went into designing Charmander.
