Wildfires Create Their Own Weather | Extreme Weather Documentary

A fire large enough doesn't just burn — it starts to control the sky above it. Pyrocumulonimbus clouds form when a wildfire generates enough heat to create its own storm system. They tower forty thousand feet — higher than most commercial aircraft fly. Inside, lightning forms. Dry lightning. No rain to put it out. That lightning strikes miles ahead of the fire, starting new blazes before anyone can react. And somewhere on the ground, a firefighter looks up at the sky and realises the rules have changed.
