Reply to comment by valkyrjuk in TIL A coal seam in Australia is believed to have been burning for 6,000 years, making it the oldest coal fire. The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone

Just how toxic is your yard? Coal wash is not exactly known as good healthy ground right?

No clue! The plants like it, the grass grows very sugary and none of our animals have like cancer or anything. In fact they usually live their full lifespans, all our dogs get to be ancient and our cats get old as balls too. The horses like the grass so much they get fat and the elk make a point of eating up the yard. All things considered it doesn't seem very toxic!
