The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 18 fires within 5 miles of Duke between 2004 and 2020, burning about 67 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• Mount Joy
• Otway
• Rarden
• Sedan
• Youngs

Every fire recorded in Scioto County

Museums hold 247 specimens collected within 10 miles of Duke between 1893 and 1975: 149 Animalia, 93 Fungi, 5 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Braun, E. Lucy, Cooke, William Bridge, Cooke, William Bridge; Cooke, V.G. 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.
