A wildfire in **rthern Colorado produced a firenado earlier this week, sending a wiry column of orange and yellow flames shooting into the sky.
The fire department in Beaver Creek, Colorado, captured the rare and fleeting *“fire whirl” on Sunday and posted the video to its Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BeaverCreekFire/).
Firenados are formed when hot, dry air rises quickly from the ground and shapes itself into vertical columns, which swirl into a vortex and pick up burning debris, ash and hot gasses.
A larger firenado (http://mashable.com/2016/06/17/firenado-california/) broke out in Southern California in June as a wildfire spread to over 4,000 acres in Santa Barbara County.
