The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Centerville between 2012 and 2012, burning about 0 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:

• Andersonville
• Bardwell
• Bloom Rose (historical)
• Bodman
• Crosstown
• Eastwood

Every fire recorded in Brown County

Museums hold 251 specimens collected within 10 miles of Centerville between 1886 and 1974: 122 Fungi, 111 Animalia, 16 Plantae, 2 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A JOHN, A. B. Seymour, Arden R. Gaufin 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.
