(Beatty, OR) -- Fire officials say the Bootleg Fire in southern Oregon has become so intense that it spawned a tornado of fire. The National Weather Service says the fire is so large that it's creating its own weather and they confirm a firenado touched down last week. Photos of the area show trees broken off at the trunk and in a circular pattern. The Bootleg Fire has burned nearly 409-thousand acres and is 46-percent contained.
