Centralia Mine Fire
The Centralia mine fire has lasted from May of 1962 until the present day. All those years ago, a fire was lit near a coal mine in Centralia, Pennsylvania; although the town did their best to extinguish the flames, the fire continued to burn along the coal-rich deposits, eventually making its way into the mines. The citizens of Centralia were forced to evacuate the area, and the fire is still burning today.
