Fire Devil

Description

In the 27 years I have been a forest fire fighter, I had yet to capture a fire whirl, otherwise known as a 'fire devil', with my camera.  2 nights ago, as we were carrying out some hazard reduction grass burning around a local community, I happened to see this one forming for about 5 seconds, and shot a quick burst.  The devil only lasted for a couple of seconds, and was far smaller than many I've seen, but I was nevertheless delighted to have captured it! :flame:

If you have a few minutes I invite you to check out my mini-gallery entitled 'The Beast'.

Nice capture!
We had some form in the fire pit when we were doing the final full burn test for flight deck firefighting, when I was in the Navy.
