The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Dorset between 2020 and 2020, 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:

• Anderson (historical)
• Bulah
• Denmark Center
• Gould
• Jefferson
• Ollins Corners

Museums hold 151 specimens collected within 10 miles of Dorset between 1872 and 1975: 135 Animalia, 16 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.), C. B. Hellquist, Currutt, D. A. (Dennis A.) 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.
