Best Answer

A "fire tornado" or more properly a firewhirl can spread a fire to new locations, burning trees and structures it impacts. The winds in a firewhirl can also cause severe damage, toppling trees and damaging roofs. One firewhirl was reported to have been as strong as an F3 tornado, which is capable of tearing apart a well built home.
