The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 80 fires within 5 miles of Hobson between 1992 and 2020, burning about 67 acres in total. None started naturally. 26 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:

• Bradbury
• Hobson Junction
• Lincoln Heights
• Middleport
• Pomeroy

Every fire recorded in Meigs County

Museums hold 181 specimens collected within 10 miles of Hobson between 1840 and 1973: 142 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 2 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C. H. Jones, Charles M. Roberts, Clark, Joseph; Riddell, John Leonard 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.
