It may eventually burn itself out, but not too likely that it will. When caol burns, it creates a gas that is combustible. So, in a sense, it is creating its own fuel. I have never actually seen a place that is over a mine fire, but I have heard of this happening. Had a friend from Kentucky who told me about them. There are several burning in various areas around the U.S.
I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.
