Only one sample of this codec type exists (logo.mov, linked above). That sample contains a single frame that is 238 bytes large and contains QuickTime-style atom information. The file also contains a single RPZA frame. Apple QuickTime Player apparently includes native support for this fire codec. Playing the file displays a logo backed for a fire animation in which the timeline does not move:

One guess is that the RPZA frame contains the logo while the fire frame contains instructions and parameters for animating the fire backdrop.
