There is this hooker on my street who's been at it for about 42 years, if you ask me her fire has been burning a long time.

Well, the oldest one I know of is in Centralia, Pennsylvania. Someone in a coal mine accidently lit a garbage can on fire in the 1960's, and the mine has been burning since. As recent as 1981 the town had a population of 1,200, but has since dwindled to just 12 people due to government evacuations and such. Below is the Wikipedia link to the town.
