None started naturally. 2 were 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 133 specimens collected within 10 miles of Fairview between 1875 and 1975: 77 Animalia, 54 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W.; Adams, S., Arrowsmith, D., Bright, J. 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.
