摘要

In 1962, a mine fire was discovered burning just outside the borough of Centralia, PA. During the early 1980s, this working-class coal mining community experienced an astounding level of intra-community social conflict over what to do about the mine fire. The tale of the mine fire at Tresckow, PA began in 2012. Located a mere 25 miles away from Centralia, Tresckow is demographically similar in size and class to Centralia at the start of its mine fire. Both towns boasted about 1,000 residents of working-class coal mining heritage. Initially causing similar concern as Centralia, the fire at Tresckow was extinguished without the disastrous social breakdown that occurred in Centralia. The paper suggests that the main factors accounting for the differences in response include physical differences between the fires, the governments' responses, and the fact that there was corporate involvement in the latter case.
