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:

• Ocean Heights

Museums hold 5,677 specimens collected within 10 miles of Jerneganville between 1828 and 1975: 3,379 Animalia, 1,669 Plantae, 403 Chromista, 138 Unrecorded, 49 Fungi, 34 Bacteria, 5 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A AND P STARRETT, A. B. Hervey, 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.
