The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 17 fires within 5 miles of Hamilton between 2012 and 2020, burning about 30 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.

Museums hold 304 specimens collected within 10 miles of Hamilton between 1860 and 1975: 296 Animalia, 5 Plantae, 2 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Walker, C. F. (Charles F.), Adler, K. K. & Wood, T. (Tilley) 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.
