The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 31 fires within 5 miles of Fayal (historical) between 1993 and 2020, burning about 107 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:

• Success
• Long Bottom
• Randolph Landing
• Reedsville
• Rushville
• Shade River

Every fire recorded in Meigs County

Museums hold 260 specimens collected within 10 miles of Fayal (historical) between 1831 and 1973: 248 Animalia, 7 Fungi, 5 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by BRYAN, C R; BRYAN, B A, C. H. Jones, Carroll H. D. 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.
