The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Island between 2019 and 2019, burning about 2 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.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Bowmans Corners
• Calla
• Greenford
• Hickory Corners
• Knaufville
• Locust Grove

Every fire recorded in Mahoning County

Museums hold 331 specimens collected within 10 miles of Island between 1884 and 1974: 214 Animalia, 97 Plantae, 20 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, Anderson, B., Armbruster, D. C. (Daniel C.) 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.
