Firefighters in British Columbia continue to battle hundreds of wildfires devastating the Canadian province<\/a>, and officials shared video of a “fire tornado” that formed last week during extreme weather conditions.<\/p>\n

Also known as a “fire whirl,” officials say the event is an “incredibly rare phenomenon.” It was spotted on August 17 as fire personnel responded to the Downton Lake wildfire<\/a> at Gun Lake, BC Wildfire Service said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“The combination of high fire intensity, strong winds and air mass instability resulted in the formation of a fire whirl (otherwise known as a fire tornado) over Gun Lake,” fire officials said. “These fire whirls are vertically oriented, intensely rotating columns of gas and flame.”<\/p>\n

The phenomenon was formed after several days of hot, dry weather in the province were followed by a cold front and strong winds, which provided “unique conditions,” officials said.<\/p>\n

“With this combination of conditions and fire behavior, fire intensity<\/a> was more extreme during this overnight period, reaching intensities that hadn\u2019t been seen even during the day,” the wildfire service said.<\/p>\n

The wildfires scorching in British Columbia have forced the evacuation of more than 25,000 people, with 37,000 more under alert to be ready to evacuate on short notice.<\/p>\n

While drenching rainfall<\/a> on Wednesday helped to douse wildfires, officials warned of potential localized flooding and “debris flows” as rains hit the scorched landscape.<\/p>\n

Since April 1, according to the province’s Wildfire Service, at least 1,818 wildfires have burned about 1.61 million hectares (nearly 4 million acres) of land in the province.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of Thursday, there are currently 374 active fires burning across the province, according to the wildfire service\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The record number of wildfires in Canada have caused choking smoke to spread across parts of the U.S.<\/p>\n
