A filmmaker in central Australia has captured rare images of a fire devil, also called a fire tornado or fire whirl — Chris Tangey, 52, who manages Alice Springs Film and Television, was scouting locations and was near an old cattle station in Uluru when he encountered a wildfire, which spawned several fire devils.
