"realistic" just isn't easy.  First of all, the water could be done very well
using Chris Colefax's Spray.inc which can be found at:

The fire thing is something people approach differently imo.  I have a torch
flame for example but it isn't great and far from very realistic but that's
mostly because it's a subjective thing.  Fire can look various ways irl to
begin with.
But anyhow, the way I made the torch flame was to use a cylindrical media
which translated upward using clock.
