 In Ireland, Dust Devils are known as "Shee-gaoithe" or "Fairy wind"

A fire whirl or swirl, sometimes called fire devils or fire tornadoes, can be seen during intense fires in combustible building structures or, more commonly, in forest or bush fires.A fire whirl is a vortex-shaped formation of burning gases being released from the combustible material.The genesis of the vortex is probably similar to that of a dust devil.
