You mean a skybox?

i must assume that you are new to mapping because the skybox is a fundamental part. essentially, your "burning city" would exist in a very small box outside of your level, and then you would use an entity to magnify the tiny box's contents and display them in the level's sky via your skybox material.

if that sounds like it might be too much to tackle at once, check out the following links:

1. https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Your_First_Map (definitely do this first!!)
