The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 28 fires within 5 miles of Beasley Fork between 2003 and 2020, burning about 99 acres in total. None started naturally. 8 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.

Museums hold 762 specimens collected within 10 miles of Beasley Fork between 1866 and 1975: 485 Animalia, 171 Fungi, 88 Plantae, 18 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. B. Seymour, A. Cronquist, A. P. Boesel 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.
