The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 24 fires within 5 miles of Brocks Corner between 2006 and 2020, burning about 106 acres in total. 1 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:

• Leo
• Pine Grove
• Big Rock
• Buffalo
• Eastburn (historical)
• Limerick

Museums hold 813 specimens collected within 10 miles of Brocks Corner between 1916 and 1975: 421 Animalia, 371 Plantae, 20 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Cronquist, A. M. Evans, A.J. Sharp 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.
