Fire Tornadoes from a forest fire(Part1:Fire Vortex appears)

The first vortex appears.
This is shot by an emergency team as fire fighters watch in disbelief. Fire fighters have died in these events before.

AND THE WIKI SAYS (To be taken with some reserve):
A fire whirl is a phenomenon in which a fire, under certain conditions (depending on air temperature and currents), acquires a vertical vorticity and forms a whirl, or a tornado-like effect of a vertically oriented rotating column of air. Fire whirls may be whirlwinds separated from the flames, either within the burn area or outside it, or a vortex of flame, itself.

A fire whirl can make fires more dangerous, an extreme example is the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake in Japan which ignited a large city sized firestorm and produced a gigantic fire whirl that killed 38,000 in fifteen minutes in the Hifukusho-Ato region of Tokyo.[1] Another example are the numerous large fire whirls (some tornadic) that developed after lightning struck an oil storage facility near San Luis Obispo, California on April 7, 1926, several of which produced significant structural damage well away from the fire, killing two. Thousands of whirlwinds were produced by the four day long firestorm coincident in an environment that produced severe thunderstorms, in which the larger fire whirls carried debris 5 kilometers (3 mi) away

Yo dawg, here in Texas we call those dust devils. its not a fire tornado, sorry. but still cool nevertheless.

[SlayerNumero2]

@shotgunbob909 fundamental defference between a dust devil and a fire tornado: you can walk through most dust devil, but a fire tornado will burn you alive while picking you up tens of feet in the air

[BamafeverRolltide94]

That's a fucking monster dust devil

Who are you to talk? Look at how you spell certain words: "bout" and "u." Maybe you are the one who needs grammar help.

[iZishu]

if i had a power to choose from it would definitely be creating fire vortexes......

This is the 2002 Missionary Ridge Fire outside of Durango Colorado. These are in fact tornadoes, created by the rotation of the plume. These tornadoes snapped of ponderosa pine stems several feet in diameter & toppled and set fire to vehicles parked in the "safe zone" in the dry lake bed of Vallecito reservoir. 1,706 fire fighters worked the fire. By the time the fire ended, it had consumed over 70,000 acres, destroyed 56 homes and had tragically claimed the life of one firefighter.

@shotgunbob909 the tornado was caused by the fires low pressure, we have dust devils in colorado too. Also dust devils dont rip big ass trees from their roots... That was one of the smaller tornados, the larges threw a 30 meter tree a 100 meters

[2SICreativity]

@shotgunbob909 Yeah dude, please read the video comment before you decide to spew stupid shit out of your face. The comment reads "fire whirl" it's a whirlwind of fire and/or smoke from the fire, created by the heat within a fire or firestorm.

It's prettu much a FIRE TORNADO

[shoopdewooooooop]

@shotgunbob909 who doesnt call them dust devils... and this isnt a dust devil, its literaly a fire tornado, just the smoke covers it up.
