The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 271 fires within 5 miles of Johns Creek (historical) between 1992 and 2020, burning about 1,929 acres in total. 2 started naturally. 121 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:

• Cannons Creek
• Five Forks
• Cherryville (historical)
• Dean (historical)
• Vesuvius Furnace
• Bald Knob

Every fire recorded in Lawrence County

Museums hold 245 specimens collected within 10 miles of Johns Creek (historical) between 1896 and 1975: 232 Animalia, 8 Plantae, 5 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C. Kennedy, C. N. Wander, C. R. Neiswander 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.
