Both hands are in the "five" handshape with palms facing inward. Wiggle the fingers slightly while simultaneously moving the hands in a circle up and away from the body and then back down and toward the body. The hands are kept at opposite sides of the imaginary circle, for example if the left hand is at the 12 o'clock the the right would be at the 6 o'clock position and so forth.
Sign 'we', 'sit', and then use the alternating circular motion with your wiggling '5' hands to show the fire. You can use your eye gaze to look down slightly at the imaginary fire in front of you.
Sign 'house' followed by 'fire'. For 'fire', make the wiggling, alternating circular movements larger and faster. Be sure to use a panicked or urgent facial expression to convey the emergency of the situation.
Sign 'tonight', 'make', and then 'fire' using the alternating upward circular motions with your fingers wiggling to represent the flames. Keep the movement relaxed to match the casual tone of the sentence.

No, this sign is only used for literal flames, like a campfire or a burning building. To sign 'fire' as in losing a job, you would use a completely different sign, typically involving a chopping motion over your non-dominant hand.
Keep the circles relatively small and natural, right in front of your chest or stomach. The movement should be fluid, similar to pedaling a hand-bike, rather than making massive, exaggerated loops.
Yes, your palms should generally face toward your body as your hands cycle through the movement. This orientation keeps the wiggling fingers pointing upward, which helps them look like rising flames.
