HONOLULU (CNN/KITV) - In Hawaii, a terrifying combination of strong winds and brush fires created this "fire tornado."
State officials captured this video Sunday of a fire caught up in a swirling twister near Saddle Road on the Big Island. The brush fire has charred about 1400 acres so far.
The Department of Land and Natural Resources says the brush fire is now about 60 percent contained.
No injuries have been reported.
