Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Create a particle emmiter, set it up so that you get nice fire how you want it, then just keyframe the number of particles to emmitt.

Should do it.

You might need to have only one frame that the emmitter emmits on with a very large number (say 1000 or something)
