Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Dr. Luther C. and Lucy Hurt Fischer House between 1993 and 2016, burning about 55 acres in total. None started naturally. 4 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.

|---|---|
| Arson/incendiarism | 4 |
| Equipment and vehicle use | 3 |
| Debris and open burning | 3 |
