Tell us more--is it really something on fire in the water stream (I assume not) and instead just a result of sunlight reflecting off the water?

There's only a two day window in a given year when the sun rises at the precise position to illuminate the falls in this way.

Maybe somebody would like to calculate the hour and day when next years event will take place..........

Also many years ago, the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, OH, caught fire. It was quite polluted!
