Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 3 fires within 5 miles of Benedict Junction between 2009 and 2015, burning about 275 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:

• Benedict
• Guilford
• Rest
• Roper
• Buffalo

Every fire recorded in Wilson County

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

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 484714. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
