The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 22 fires within 5 miles of Florence between 2009 and 2019, burning about 30 acres in total. 1 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.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Slaters
• Belle Valley
• Hoskinsville
• Caldwell
• Coal Ridge
• Sharon

Museums hold 90 specimens collected within 10 miles of Florence between 1884 and 1974: 50 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 3 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W., Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Dennis, D. M. 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.
