The Centralia mine fire, which began in 1962 in Pennsylvania, did not result in any direct fatalities from the fire itself. However, the underground fire and its associated hazards led to the evacuation of the town and the eventual abandonment of Centralia. The most notable incident related to the fire occurred in 1981, when a young boy was killed in a sinkhole caused by subsurface subsidence, bringing the total number of deaths associated with the fire to three.
