The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 5 fires within 5 miles of Brush Lake (historical) between 2002 and 2002, burning about 4 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:

• Fountain Park
• Meadows of North Lewisburg
• Middletown
• Mingo
• Woodstock
• Cable

Every fire recorded in Champaign County

Museums hold 289 specimens collected within 10 miles of Brush Lake (historical) between 1876 and 1975: 243 Animalia, 28 Fungi, 18 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, A. White (Ohio State Univ.), Acker, G. 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.
