The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 13 fires within 5 miles of Chase between 2007 and 2020, burning about 15 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:

• Pleasanton
• Albany
• Shade
• Valley View
• Carsey Town
• Clearview

Every fire recorded in Athens County

Museums hold 1,017 specimens collected within 10 miles of Chase between 1831 and 1975: 876 Animalia, 115 Plantae, 19 Fungi, 3 Unrecorded, 2 Protozoa, 1 Chromista, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. H. Blickle, Auburn E. Brower 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.
