 Fire
storms
a very intense and destructive fire
(typically one caused by bombing) in
which strong currents of air are drawn into
the blaze from the surrounding area making
it burn more fiercely.

That means the heat from the fire creates

its own wind system, and this can lead to
very strange weather effects.
