Reply to comment by randomnighmare in Burning Coal Country (Part 2): What Pa. DEP has to say about the underground fire in Schuylkill by JustSomeF-ingGuy

The article says this fire has no discernable connection to centralia and has only been burning for 19 years, but as some point they will connect

The article does say that PA DEP claims they are not connected, but they also admit:

>that monitoring had been limited to surface surveys with "thermal imaging cameras."

So, it is very possible that there is a connection deeper than what they have probed. It almost seems like the DEP is fearful to actually discover that connection.

More like there are no funds or technology available to monitor it.
