  • There's a treasure hunt going on in Coober Pedy, Australia, where opal was discovered a hundred years ago. As much as 80 percent of the world's opal supply comes from Coober Pedy's mines. But with summertime temperatures soaring to 120 degrees, the town features hundreds of "dug out" homes, burrowed into the rock and naturally cooled. Seth Doane explores the underground town, complete with bar, beauty salon, bookstore and hotel.

      A fire below ground like that wouldn't have much fuel to burn. The table, cabinets, couch and bed are probably the only things that are flammable. So a deadly fire would be very unlikely. it would be more like a trash can fire easily put out with a fire extinguisher.
