Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 3 fires within 5 miles of Sharlow between 2012 and 2015, burning about 63 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:

• Millarton
• Sydney

Every fire recorded in Stutsman County

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