These were from last year, with a 2.1 Mp camera; I have a newer 7 Mp camera now and could get a higher-res similar shot if that's what you're looking for.

Now THAT is cool! I've been to Centralia on the way home from a trip to New Jersey a few years ago, my ever-patient wife tagging along. But, when we got there, even she was mildly impressed with the whole spectacle.
Do you have any more details on this fire? How/when did it start, scope/size of the fire, etc. Any more pictures of maybe a wider, landscape type view?
