call column. a vortex is then formed by what's called angular momentum. principal also demonstrated by figure scatters. >> just like figure skater. but to spin, start off spinning, it start off with their arm, start off small, but get closer and to themselves closer to the body they start to spin a lot faster. so, those fire tornados dot same exact thing, the slower i move, the thicker it will be. but the faster i move, it will be thinner. >> fire nato's typically only last a few minute, that's why it is so rare to catch them on camera. nevertheless, they can be extremely dangerous. >> fire tornados can get to be about 2,000 degrees fahrenheit at the core. >> the worse areas of fire nature owes on record occurred amongst wild fires that swept through parts of wisconsin in 1871, moving as fast as 100 piles per hour, fire so intense it traversed the water of greenbay. ultimately, scorch
