The Primorsky Krai of Russia has been hit by fire tornadoes, with the fire covering an area of 4,900 hectares. Currently, a special fire regime has been declared in Primorye.
The video of the natural phenomenon was shared on Youtube.
In addition, Russian Telegram channels also reported that the fire tornado as a rare natural phenomenon was first recorded in Primorye. That is where natural fires are now raging.
It is noted that now the fire has covered an area of 4,900 hectares, including the National Park "Land of the Leopard".
Ukrainian Telegram channels also showed some videos of the fire tornado. In particular, it can be seen how the fire services are trying to deal with the fire, but to no avail.
"A whirlwind of smoke, fire, and ash usually occurs in the place of natural fires, when several factors combine: fire, burning, wind," local experts explain, emphasizing that wind plays a far from primary role in creating a fire tornado.
Basically, fire tornadoes are a phenomenon that is formed by fires combining into one huge fire. The air above it heats up, decreases in density, and lifts the fire upward. From below, new cold masses of also heated air take its place, causing a chimney effect.
At present, a special firefighting regime has been declared in Primorye.
