Fire sweeps through park without burning trees or grass, surreal video amazes people
Shared on Facebook there’s a chance that the video will leave you fascinated.
A video, which is mesmerising and baffling in equal parts, has gone crazy viral online. The clip shows a park covered with a white veil which burns away. What’s surprising is that the fire doesn’t touch the green grass, tree barks, or even the wooden bench. The video is so surprising that it looks like something that is straight out of a fantasy movie rather than a real life incident.
Shared on Facebook by a non-profit organisation named Club De Montaña Calahorra, there’s a chance that the video will leave you fascinated.
The video was later shared on Twitter by many and one such post even gathered over 6.5 million views. People had a lot to say about the video. While some were amazed to witness such an incident, others took a more hilarious route to comment.
“That is the most well-behaved fire I’ve ever seen,” joked a Twitter user. “This is like something you would see in a Disney cartoon,” wrote another.
“I have so many questions,” expressed a third. To this, a Twitter user responded, “I live there. Birch trees produce a hairy seed. It accumulates in the grass and this is the way to remove it.”
Turns out, the white substance burning is a layer of fluff from the fruits of Canadian poplar trees, reports RT. The local authorities in an area in Spain were removing them with help of controlled fire.
What do you think of the video?
