The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 119 fires within 5 miles of Flag Spring between 1993 and 2020, burning about 554 acres in total. 1 started naturally. 44 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.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Cadmus
• McDaniel Crossroad
• Peniel
• Hoadley
• Boggs (historical)
• Gallia

Museums hold 98 specimens collected within 10 miles of Flag Spring between 1896 and 1970: 89 Animalia, 6 Fungi, 3 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Cooper, C. (Carolyn), Cooper, C. S. (Carolyn S.), Cooper, I. (Ivan) & Cooper, S. (Sammy), D. Moots 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.
