Play around with the particles options or search the forums on tips/guides for particles. I've seen some good examples/experiments with particles on here. I recently saw that someone created a GameSalad project which allowed you to test and experiment with all of the settings in a simulator.

Here's some links to free and paid particle templates/programs:

I suggest particles as well. I have a free fire and smoke particle effect in the 'free game assets' section of my website if you want to check it out. There is also a paid particle effects kit and particle effects editor there but if you're just looking for fire you can pick that up for nothing.
