Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 27 fires within 5 miles of Methol between 2005 and 2020, burning about 53 acres in total. 2 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.

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:

• Burnwood
• Butternut Grove
• Cooks Falls
• Goulds
• Rock Valley
• Horton

Every fire recorded in Delaware 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 972795. The sheet list is computed by point-in-boundary test against the United States Geological Survey's historical topographic inventory.
