Black country mines near Dudley burned for well over 200 years at an area
once called "Fiery holes" and the area has only recently been made safe and
is now built on

Subject: Chinese Colliery Fire
A BBC radio news report last week claimed that engineers in China were
about to try to put out a fire in a colliery which, it was claimed, has
been burning for years and has consumed millions of tons of coal. I've
heard no more about this. Does anyone have any further information?
