Shenandoah Borough is a town that's no stranger to mine fires.

"Shenandoah itself is pretty much the heart of the coal region," said Shenandoah Historical Society Director Andy Ulicny.

Ulicny runs a museum in town filled with helmets, coal, and replicas of mining equipment.

"We have a miner's helmet. Before electricity in the olden days," said Ulicny.

We learned, if the Girardville fire ever did threaten Shenandoah, it wouldn't be the borough's first time, and in that previous case, something was done about it. That's an experience Ulicny lived firsthand.

"All of a sudden, you're finding out over the years vapors popping up surrounding the mine, vapors popping up surrounding the town. Sulphur is effusing and solidifying," said Ulicny.
