Fire Tornado was Caught in Camera by Firefighters.

As the fires continue next door in B.C., an "incredibly rare" phenomenon called a fire whirl or fire tornado was caught on video by firefighters at one of the out-of-control wildfires burning throughout the province. The phenomenon was the product of unique and rapidly changing weather conditions. A cold front passed through the province following several days of hot, dry weather. The combination of high fire intensity, strong winds and air mass instability resulted in the formation of a fire whirl (otherwise known as a fire tornado), which was described by B.C. Wildfire Service as "vertically oriented, intensely rotating columns of gas and flame." #kelownafire #kelowna #westkelowna
