You can create a particle effect using HL2's Particle editor, Import it into the game with a info_particlesystem entity, Trigger it on with a button, and after a few seconds, kill the fire entity.

Gimme a few while i dig up examples on how to do each.. I know there's a particle tutorial floating around TWHL somewhere.

That should be everything you need to create the particle system and import it into the map.
Now are you versed with the Input/Output system? If you're not doing the other triggers can be tricky. Lemme know

tnx i will look it up and try tnx very much

I did something like that in one of my maps ages ago, using sprites. They are easy enough to turn on and off, and give a similar effect
