Rare ‘fire tornado’ filmed in Brazil

A 'fire tornado' has been caught on camera in the Brazilian municipality of Aracatuba, caused by strong, dry winds that fanned wildfires.
A whirlwind of flames spiralling several metres high danced across fields, bringing traffic to a halt on a nearby road, before it disappeared.
The phenomenon followed weeks of drought which have sparked brush fires across the country.
