Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Ai between 2006 and 2016, burning about 13 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• Dutch Ridge
• Swanton Meadows
• Lytton
• Assumption
• Delta Heights
• Maplewood Park

Every fire recorded in Fulton County

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 650 specimens collected within 10 miles of Ai between 1894 and 1975: 633 Animalia, 15 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, K.; Adams, S., Conan J. Taylor, Davis, H.A.; Davis, T. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
