Centralia, Pennsylvania, a former coal mining town, has been burning for over 60 years. In 1962, the town council decided to burn a landfill unaware it connected to the underground coal mine shafts, a coal seam ignited and has been burning ever since. After spending $7 million trying to put out the fire, Pennsylvania gave up in the 1990s. Despite the dangers, around five residents still live there. With coal supplies under the town, the fire could burn for another 250 years.​
Inspired the Silent Hill franchise.
