17927 is the revoked zip code for the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania. Centralia was once a prosperous coal mining town home to close to 1,000 residents. In 1962, Centralia's dump, which was located in an abandoned coal pit, caught fire.  The mine has been burning ever since. In the 1980's, the fire came to the attention of the nation, when a young boy fell into a sink hole.
