The longest burning fire is an underground coal fire in New South Wales, Australia.

The fire started over 2,000 years ago.

Apparently lightning struck a large coal seam at a point where it reached open air.

Today the fire is more than 500 feet (152 meters) underground, and is still eating its way.
