Storm King Mountain Fire Cause: Fires are burning within underground coal seams around the world, sending tons of soot, toxic vapors and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, polluting ground water and leading to mine subsidence as the coal is consumed. In the United States a fire in an underground coal seam in Colorado sparked a blaze that scorched more than 12,000 acres of forest, destroyed two dozen homes, and threatened the resort town of Glenwood Springs. The underground coal seam that ignited the fire has been burning for about 100 years - it was also responsible for the infamous 1994 Storm King Mountain fire that killed 14 firefighters.
