Like a real life Silent Hill.
Maybe the inspiration for Silent Hill?

Apparently Centralia was the codename for the original Silent Hill.

Attention to the fire began to increase, culminating in 1981 when 12-year-old Todd Domboski fell into a four foot wide by 150 foot deep sinkhole that suddenly opened beneath his feet. He was saved after a relative pulled him from the mouth of the hole before he could plunge to his death. The incident brought national attention to Centralia. In 1984, Congress allocated more than $42 million for relocation efforts. Most of the residents accepted buyout offers and moved to nearby Mount Carmel and Ashland.-from the wiki

Wonder what the pipes are for.. to prevent pressure from building, and there being and explosion? You'd think letting oxygen down would speed up the fire.
