Fire tornadoes, more properly called fire whirls, generally form during very intense fires. Eddies, or weak vortices in the wind, may be caught in the rising air current or updraft of the fire. This causes the eddies to stretch, tighten, and intensify into fairly strong vortices, which then pull in smoke and fire.
