Draw the explosion on the top of the building. To make the smoke: create a different cloud layer (black and white), then make the transparent gradient around, define it as the brush, then use this brush with scattering and flipping option. For the explosion: use the low opacity brush to draw the red outline, then the yellow region inside (hotter region), then the white area in the center (heat center). Behind the fire and the smoke, make a layer, draw with these color (red outside, then yellow, then white), use the smudge (strength around 70-80%) to make it look like the explosion (draw out from the center of the explosion the radial direction)
