The vortexes — which can be anywhere from a few feet tall to several hundred feet high, with varying rotational speeds — were spotted Sunday on the north end of the York Fire. Crews expected to face limited visibility due to the fire's thick smoke. The cause of the York Fire remains under investigation.
