Flaming buildings

I need help with the beginning of a new game. It starts out where you wake up and the village is on fire. I just need to know if there's some way to make burning buildings. Do I have to make them in the chipsets, or is it like some kind of animation picture thing I have to place as an event on the buildings?

or...maybe I'll just use some kinda cutscene or something...i dunno

And I'm using rm2k3
