_firesmoke

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
See below for instructions on making it available.

_firesmoke is a point entity available in all Source games. This is the group of particle effects created by an env_fire, including the flames. It does no damage. If a fire shouldn't damage things, or is unable to, this entity could be used directly to save an edict. env_fire does however allow much more control over the flame.

Confirm:This entity will not be active unless an env_fire exists in the map.
