Say I have a character with the dungeon delver feat and resistance to fire damage. As that character explores some ruins, they get hit by a flame jet trap. Would both resistances apply (so that the flames deals only 1/4 of the OG damage) or just one?
Resistance doesn't stack, so you'll only take half damage even if you have the same resistance from multiple sources. If you have some other method of reducing the damage, such as the Rogue's Evasion ability, its effect will apply.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Getting multiple instances of the same feature generally doesn't stack unless it says otherwise in 5e. So, you can only have one application of Fire Resistance at a time. The only way to upgrade it once you have Fire Resistance is to get Fire Immunity, which is a separate feature.

If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.
I was going to say that it might stack, due to one being specifically fire and the other being generally traps, but the combat rules section on resistance says "Multiple instances of resistance or vulnerability that affect the same damage type count as only one instance. For example, if a creature has resistance to fire damage as well as resistance to all nonmagical damage, the damage of a nonmagical fire is reduced by half against the creature, not reduced by three-quarters."
