Mysterious flames erupt from earth

Second the reply above.. Why are choosing to demonize a people in a thread about underground fires.. Its adds nothing to the thread and brings it off topic. Its an interesting thread and atm there are no definite answers.

I guess that it may have been caused by a gas reacting with the air or something. But i dont really know.

I just came across another interesting fire very similar to the one in Sri Lanka. This one is in Phitsanulok, Thailand. The source isn't the most credible, but it's still curious to have another fire like this happening.

Relevant officials yesterday rushed to examine a spot in Phitsanulok's Nakhon Thai district where fire has reportedly been raging underground. The fire has also reportedly burned four dogs to death.

Last Saturday, resident Chatree Boonyarit also suffered from burns as he tried to rescue a dog in the area.

"Before that, another man was injured at the same spot. He said the road surface had collapsed a bit and there was a fire raging down under," village chief Natcha Saengsiri said. The spot has been cordoned off.

"We have used water to control the blaze, which is starting to rise to the surface," Phitsanulok disaster prevention and mitigation chief Issaraporn Suchano said.

Somboon Kositanon, a senior mineral resources official, said initial examination suggested that methane from accumulated sawdust, weeds and dry leaves as well as heat might have caused the fire.

Lets put up theory/theories!
