A circle of fans was set up to create a fire tornado after dark. (See the video to witness the fire tornado in action.)

A hose led to the center of a metal plate laid on the asphalt. Gas was fed through that pipe to ignite the fire tornado. (See the video to witness the fire tornado in action.)

Many propane cylinders were arranged in a line to supply burnable gas for the fire tornado. (See the video to witness the fire tornado in action.)
