A fire tornado whirled above a burning plastic-processing plant during a huge conflagration outside Budapest, Hungary, on March 2.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, and no casualties were reported, according to the Reuters news service.
Also known as fire whirls, fire devils, or even firenados, fire tornadoes form when high heat and turbulent winds together spur whirling eddies of air.
