The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 10 fires within 5 miles of Goosetown (historical) between 2009 and 2017, burning about 305 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• Stella
• Eagle Mills
• Royal
• Hue
• Jimtown
• Siverly

Every fire recorded in Vinton County

Museums hold 612 specimens collected within 10 miles of Goosetown (historical) between 1912 and 1975: 544 Animalia, 40 Plantae, 28 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, A. Spreitzer et al., Arden R. Gaufin 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.
