The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 15 fires within 5 miles of Dale between 2012 and 2019, burning about 7 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:

• Wolf Creek
• Luke Chute
• Patten Mills
• Swift
• Alden
• Beckett

Museums hold 395 specimens collected within 10 miles of Dale between 1888 and 1975: 371 Animalia, 16 Fungi, 8 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adler, K. K., Albaugh, D. W. (Douglas W.), Albaugh, Douglas W 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.
