The ghost town thread reminded me of this old story.
Centralia is a small town in Eastern Pennsylvania that sits on top a coal mine. About 1,300 Centralians populated the town in 1962. The families and businesses were happy with their quiet little town, which was once said to be one of the nicest towns in the region. Then a fire started in the early sixties. Centralia, Pennsylvania has been on fire ever since that day.
It was on that day in 1962 that a local resident set fire to his trash heap. This fact alone is not what set the town ablaze. Because the town is situated over a coal mine, sink holes are quite common. A sink hole is created when the ceiling of a cave collapses making a crater shape depression on the surface (see figure A). The weight of the structure over head is too much for the cave to support and the cave ceiling collapses creating the sink hole. Here, the old supports in the mine were not strong enough to support the ceiling of the cave. Unfortunately, it collapsed with a burning heap above it. Consequently, the heap collapsed into a sink hole and into the coal deposits beneath.

There's a neighborhood here in NYC that's been on fire since forever. It's called Chelsea.

Wha? I thought we all agreed that Silent Hill was most likely in Northern California or Washington?
