Such a moment occurred in a forest fire near the town of Gorman that a local news crew was able to document a rare whirlwind of fire growing stronger into a real burning tornado.
The camera crew, which was documenting a firefighting helicopter in action during a large forest fire that had already consumed nearly twenty dunams of natural forest, suddenly noticed the mesmerizing phenomenon.
"The whirlwind of fire, sometimes called a burning tornado, is the result of a dry climate and an abundance of combustible material, winds that change with high frequency and high heat that is projected from the ground," said the air services of the California State Fire Department, in a tweet in response to a video that became popular online.
