"Captivating footage: Waterspout swirls amidst raging Canadian wildfire"

A video captured in British Columbia, Canada shows a swirling waterspout spinning across the water while a massive wildfire burns in the background. The waterspout, filmed by firefighters, was likely caused by the intense heat from the wildfire interacting with a cold front. While initially described as a fire whirl, further analysis suggests it was a waterspout tornado with a mixture of smoke and gas. The wildfires in Canada have burned over 13 million hectares and have led to days of unhealthy air quality levels in the US.
