A group of rangers in the Rockies get a surprise when a large dust devil collides with a controlled burn, scattering flaming tumbleweeds. No one was hurt, and we got this awesome video, so win-win!

I love how the rangers are calm and in control the whole time, while I'm thinking, "Tornado AND Fire? Ghaaa!"

Things can get even crazier than this in a wildfire: see an actual fire tornado (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_whirl).

Probably the best footage of fire whirls I've seen are these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsyvOYcWgcg) two (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyX2NUEkKk) vids.  The OP's is pretty cool with all the airborne tumbleweeds and viewer proximity though.  It's very surreal.
