The Env_fire entity is broken in portal. There's actually a fixable reason as to why this is.
In the Source engine, the Env_fire entity looks for the particle "fire_01.pcf" to use. This contains all the necessary particles, like smoke, large/medium/small fires, etc. In Half Life 2, this works fine.
However, in Portal, the fire pit particles seen at the end of the test chambers are also named "fire_01.pcf". This creates some conflicts, as the Env_fire can't find the correct particles within the Portal fire pit particle system. This is further complicated by the absence of any Env_fires in the original Portal. had any been placed during development, this problem would have been dealt with far before Portal was released.
