The oldest known continuously burning fire is an underground coal fire in New
South Wales, Australia. This fire apparently started over 2,000 years ago when
lightning struck a large coal seam at a point where it reached the surface of the
earth. Today the fire is more than 500 feet (152 meters) underground, and is still
slowly eating away at the coal.

Thank you...Interesting...I believe I read about it a long time ago and forgot about it.
Thank you again for the information.
These people are still whackos.
