The crew posted several videos on Facebook of two separate firenadoes they faced, and explained fire whirls occur when “cool air enters the top of the hot air causing a swirl similar to how a tornado is formed.”
No injuries were reported but black smoke could be seen as far as Shepshed in Leicestershire and Nottingham City Center.
