A fire tornado, more properly called a fire whirl, forms in a manner akin to that of a dust devil, only the source of heat is a fire rather than the sun. The ingredients needed for a fire whirl are an intense fire, and wind with some hint of vorticity (spin), which can occur as the wind interacts with the ground and vegetation. The fire creates an updraft which then takes on vorticity, pulling it into a tighter, more intense vortex.

What do you need to stay safe during a fire tornado?
A "fire tornado" is not a true tornado but a whirlwind spawned by an intense fire. If such a fire is approaching the area where you live you should evacuate immediately.

Does a fire tornado start with a fire on the ground or does the fire come down with the tornado or start from lightning?
The "fire tornado" forms from the fire; it doesn't really matter how the fire starts. Also, a "fire tornado" is more properly called a fire whirl as it technically isn't a tornado.

Why do you need to blow out candles in a tornado?
The candles could be knowck over. If they are not blown out, this could start a fire.
What is the difference between a normal tornado and a fire tornado?
A normal tornado is a violently rotating column of air the descends from the rotating updraft of a thunderstorm. A fire tornado or firewhirl, which is technically not a tornado, is a vortex of smoke and/or flame that forms at ground level from the updraft of an intense fire. Firewhirls can potentially produce winds equivalent to an EF0 or EF1 tornado, but the main threat is their ability to spread a fire further.
How much damage can a fire tornado do?
A fire tornado's primary hazard is how fast it can spread fire. A fire tornado (more properly called a a firewhirl as it technically isn't a tornado) occurs when a massive fire, mostly a forest fire, slowly builds up heat. The warm air naturally goes upwards in a funnel shape, taking the flames with them. If you could imagine a fire tornado dancing above highly flammable treetops, you know the true dangers of them. They can spread a forest fire a lot quicker than normal.
What material you need to make a tornado?
different temp air mixing and spining
How does a fire tornado form and what are the factors that contribute to its creation?
A fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl, forms when intense heat from a fire creates a rotating column of air. Factors that contribute to its creation include strong winds, high temperatures, and the presence of a large and intense fire. The combination of these elements can lead to the formation of a fire tornado.
