Putting out this fire and thousands of others throughout the world seems to be pretty much impossible for a variety of reasons. However a company in Texas my have a solution using compressed nitrogen foam. They have used it successfully elsewhere and hope they can use it to extinguish the Centralia fire. I found this article to be most informative: http://www.earthmagazine.org/article/hot-hell-firefighting-foam-heats-coal-fire-debate-centralia-pa If they can't put it out it could burn for 250 years.

Great image Travis. :)

I read up on Centralia several years ago. Hard to believe a dump fire could do all that. Although I have a pile where I throw tilled grass/soil mix to compost. I set the top on fire and a week later smoke was still coming out of it every once in a while.

thanks all for your comments :)
norma, thanks for the link, i hope they give CAFSCO a try, it's sounds very promising :)
gary, after reading the article norma posted i can't believe there are hundreds of these fires in the U.S. alone, how very bad for the environment :(

Wyatt's Torch was such a flame, that featured prominently in Atlas Shrugged.
