This church has survived a fire that started back in 1962 - BBC News

 Built on solid rock, it will not be undermined by underground coal fires.

This church has survived a fire that started back in 1962 - BBC News:

"The town of Centralia has been left to die - but its last remaining church is thriving.

In Pennsylvania's coal-mining mountains, there's an empty grid where a town once lived.

Once, there were homes and gardens. Now there are weeds.

Before Centralia started burning from below, more than a thousand people lived here. At the last count, there were six.

The roads remain - on Google Maps, they have names like Railway Avenue and Apple Alley - but on the ground, they are ghost streets."
