The fire had swept past our neighborhood the night before, turning everything around the neighborhood black. It had moved on to the other side of the main road, into the mountains.

I decided to visit the fire as it passed by another neighborhood. Giant aircraft dropped mega-gallons of red colored liquid on the hills to prevent the fire from burning the houses up (it was successful, at least there).

The heat from the fire swirled around in the column of smoke and created a nice little tornado.
