Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 2 fires within 5 miles of Bodmann in 2009, burning about 30 acres in total. None started naturally. None was 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.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Bement
• Milmine
• Voorhies
• Cerro Gordo

Every fire recorded in Piatt County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.
