Redcliff, AB — Did you know that there’s been a fire burning underneath some walking and biking trails of Redcliff for decades?
“It’s been burning for somewhere in the neighbourhood of 60-70 years,” said Wade Gleisner, Fire Chief for the Redcliff Fire Department.
The fire started in an abandoned coal mine located by the river valley. The mine was abandoned over 120 years ago.
