Hi Gleit!
Corey Barker has some greate videos on makeing this kind of effects. Check out http://www.planetphotoshop.com/sci-fi-text-effect.html and maybe also http://www.planetphotoshop.com/fire-brushes.html – It concists of making fire effects by using layer styles. Maybe you could snap up a few trix.

Good luck!

Consider the filters available with Filter Forge, such as Pyromaniac, etc. I've got some more examples in issue 9 of my ezine.

Combining these with other methods should light your fire!
