火災旋風の恐怖: 燃料となるガス

——————————————-

火災 – かさい – a fire
旋風 – せんぷう – whirlwind
恐怖 – きょうふ – fear, dread, horror

燃料 – ねんりょう – fuel
ガス – がす – gas
となる – to become

火災 indicates a house fire, wildfire, or similar, which you might guess due the use of the same kanji as in:
天災 – てんさい – natural disaster

The photo in the post is of a fire whirlwind above a burning peat bog in England. I’m not totally sure about the scale of the photo, but it doesn’t look that big to me, so it seems like 恐怖 might be somewhat overdramatic.

My translation:
火災旋風の恐怖: 燃料となるガス
The terror of a whirlwind of fire: fueled by gas
