Spawn fire in air in Arma 3

Put this code in your initPlayerLocal.sqf and this will spawn a fire object on top of a smoke stack.

_firePos = [4234.45,18088.8,58.9342];
_fire = "test_EmptyObjectForFireBig" createVehicle _firePos;
_fire setPos [_firePos select 0, _firePos select 1, 59];

This value.

[4234.45,18088.8,58.9342]
