I'm using Ray Trace shadows, with a blur of 7 and min bias of .2. I think the units of blur are degrees, but I'm not sure. If they are, then that is a 7 degree blur cone. This looks pretty good for a fire, but you can adjust it as you need to. If the fire is really huge, it should probably be bigger. WARNING: Render times go up with increasing blur radius.
I suggest for test renders (where you are adjusting light levels) you don't bother with shadows. Goes much faster.
Don't forget to enable ray-tracing when using RT shadows.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
