Did you drag the fire colors up with the smudge brush.

I made the base text and duplicated it, blurred it, did 'Wind' and then did 'Ripple'. Duplicated this layer and blurred, then set the layer mode to dissolve lowering the opacity.
Used the 'Render'> Nature> Flame. Made a nice flame using red and yellow. Flipped, rotated and scaled the flame render for each number and placed it behind everything.

I was making a tut, but only got about 1/4 the way through and my Gimp crashed (auto save not enabled). I only managed to get 4 screenshots of how I did the base text, but wasn't able to get to the making of the flames.

Yes there is an 'Auto Save'.
There is a thread about it here on GC, but I'm not sure where.
In the mean time I'll look in my Gimp files and try to find the correct file/plugin and send you a link or attach a file so you can download it, if necessary.

I found the plugin, it's a python-plugin, so you need to have python installed.

I have GIMP 2.8, so can I install this? I read that python was built in to 2.8.

You should have python installed, but it dose depend on which Gimp build you have installed. Otherwise, you should be able to install this plugin.
I'm using Gimp 2.6.11 and had to install python myself.
If you place this file into your plugin folder, it should work for you.

Awesome effect. Very unique look.

Does anyone know how you could take something like this and turn it into a font?
