The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 5 fires within 5 miles of Centennial between 2018 and 2020, burning about 4 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.

• Sylvania
• Bowen (historical)

Museums hold 1,399 specimens collected within 10 miles of Centennial between 1877 and 1974: 1,259 Animalia, 125 Plantae, 9 Fungi, 4 Unrecorded, 2 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Aaron J. Sharp, BR & LW Campbell, BR Campbell 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.
