The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 19 fires within 5 miles of Arnoldville between 2015 and 2018, burning about 10 acres in total. 3 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:

• Cheshire Harbor
• Town Crest Village
• Bowens Corners
• Little Egypt
• Maple Grove
• Adams

Every fire recorded in Berkshire County

Museums hold 1,037 specimens collected within 10 miles of Arnoldville between 1828 and 1975: 554 Plantae, 240 Animalia, 221 Fungi, 11 Protozoa, 8 Unrecorded, 3 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A K Harrison, A Schwartz, A. H. Gustafson 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.

Every working recorded in Berkshire 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 607274.
