Fire whirls, otherwise known as fire tornadoes, pose a powerful and essentially uncontrollable threat to life, property and the surrounding environment in large urban and wildland fires. These fire tornadoes are usually turbulent, but the blue whirl discovered by researchers at the University of Maryland is very quiet and stable, without any visible or audible signs of turbulence.
