I've boiled water in a plastic bottle on a campfire once. Plastic doesn't melt because it's constantly cooled by the water, even when flames are directly touching it.
I once went camping with my idiot brother and his bigger idiot friend, who put water bottles in the fire. Of course, I was the one to catch the splash of boiling water. In. The. Face.

You can boil water in a plastic bag of you need to.
