“In 1962, a little fire in Centralia (Pennsylvania) migrated into an exposed vein of anthracite coal under the town. The flames on the surface were successfully extinguished, but the coal continued to burn underground for many years, so that in 1984 the fire was completely out of control and the city had to be evacuated.”

“The Seven Gates of Hell are located In Hellam, Pa. Near York, PA. The story goes that there was once a Mental Asylum which had caught fire. The inmates tried to escape through the forest in which the asylum was located. Surrounding the asylum were seven gates which trapped the inmates. Many were killed by the fire or by other inmates. To this day, it is said that no one has made it past the location of the Fifth gate and returned out of the forest.”

The day the earth caught fire.
Sounds like my political campaign. I lose more offices that way. And then I end up with a lump of coal!
