Just create straight path of fire using particle = playground, precomp, and distort with puppet tool?

2013/10/28 Peter = Matulavich <matulavich@ameritech.net>

Anyone know if there is a = way to have particles follow a path in After Effects WITHOUT using a = plug in like Particular?

I want to create a river of fire that = spreads along a specific path. The fire part is easy enough in AE = but now want it to go exactly where I need it go.
