The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 13 fires within 5 miles of Bacon between 2005 and 2020, burning about 66 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:

• Flat Iron Corner
• Linton Mills
• Plainfield
• Shady Bend
• Stringtown (historical)
• Blue Row

Every fire recorded in Coshocton County

Museums hold 1,212 specimens collected within 10 miles of Bacon between 1846 and 1974: 577 Plantae, 512 Animalia, 117 Fungi, 4 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Huryn, A. Spreitzer, Albaugh, W. F. 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.
