The Weather Channel explains how fire tornadoes are formed:
They are rapidly spinning vortices that form when air superheated by an intense wildfire rises rapidly, consolidating low-level spin from winds converging into the fire like a spinning ice skater, pulling its arms inward.
The fire tornadoes typically only last a few minutes, but they can spew embers and debris into the air.
