The Centralia fire is the most famous one by far.

  I've never noticed this to be the case, but I'm from the area (a few hours from each site). Looking online it appears you're right: one fire is 40x bigger and much older, but the new one gets 20x the google hits. I think the newer fire, by virtue of its location and having started more recently, is probably a lot more photogenic because of the infrastructure damage it causes.

  It depends on your parameters - Yanartas / “Mount Chimera” was in the Iliad, it’s hard to beat that level of fame. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanartaş https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yanartaş
