Salamanders are amphibians, from a Greek word which means "life on both sides"; they are born in the water and live on the land, which explains why they´re associated to transformation.
In ancient times the salamander was thought to live in fire, another element of transformation, hence the idea that salamanders could use the energy of the elements.
