MC Schidlowsky, a member of the fire brigade of British Columbia, Canada, recorded the scene of two colleagues struggling to hold onto the sprinklers flying in the wind, Fox News reported on Sept. 18. Fire cannons rising dozens of meters near Vanderhoof, British Columbia, were extinguished later.

"The fire destroyed our pipes. It knocked out the burning logs in 45 minutes, pulled the fire hose over 30 meters in midair before melting. This is the first time this has happened. " , MC Schidlowsky shared.

Fire cannons, also known as fire or tornadoes, are not uncommon and often break out from large forest fires. A phenomenon similar to sand or sand whirlwinds occurs because hot and dry air rapidly rises from the ground, forming a vertical column until it encounters cold air above. As more and more fire and hot air were swept into the column, it began to spin into a whirlpool, following dust, heat and debris, creating a fierce and dangerous fire tower.
