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:

• Crownridge Estates
• Dover
• Farm Street Station
• Harding

Museums hold 9,745 specimens collected within 10 miles of Glenridge between 1805 and 1975: 4,592 Animalia, 2,630 Plantae, 2,321 Fungi, 86 Protozoa, 77 Chromista, 34 Unrecorded, 5 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, ? ex Herb. W.G. Farlow, A. B. Seymour 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.
