There is no such classification system. "Fire tornadoes" or, more properly, firewhirls are not true tornadoes but a form of whirlwind similar to dust devils. The Enhanced Fujita scale rates tornadoes based on the severity of the damage caused by their winds. The winds in a firewhirl are rarely strong enough to produce significant damage. The damage they cause is a result of them spreading fire, so the same rating system would not apply.
