I think the really important bit is the bit about high winds over lee facing slopes creating mountain waves, causing deep flaming and lateral spreading along the ridge-line. That is the sort of thing that will happen fairly often, and we need to understand it.
The fire tornado itself is scary as heck and very spectacular, but such things are very rare. I hope.
