In Tangerine there are many natural disasters including; freak lightning storms, sinkholes, and muck fires. A muck fire is a fire that burns below the surface of the ground. It is very difficult to put out.
Check out this article from USA Today about muck fires in Florida. It turns out the author definitely got his facts straight. One thing that I thought was really interesting is that muck fires didn't used to be so bad. But since people started developing and draining wetlands for building and irrigation for farms the muck fires have gotten worse and more frequent.
