Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 134 fires within 5 miles of Bethune Beach between 1993 and 2019, burning about 1,694 acres in total. 44 started naturally. 16 were recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.
