Centralia, Pennsylvania, a former coal mining town, has been burning for almost 60 years. In 1962, the town council decided to burn a landfill, unaware it connected to underground mine shafts. This ignited a coal seam, which continues to burn. 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.
