A rare fire tornado was photographed amid a blaze that occured near a wholesale produce market in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province, on July 5, with great spouts of flames shooting 20 meters into the sky.

A fire tornado, also known as a fire whirl or fire devil, is a rare phenomenon in which flames and ash form a tornado-like vortex that sucks in burning debris and combustible gases.
