The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 17 fires within 5 miles of Kyger between 1995 and 2019, burning about 41 acres in total. None started naturally. 4 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:

• Carlton
• Cheshire
• Eno
• Addison
• Bulaville
• Morgan Center

Museums hold 234 specimens collected within 10 miles of Kyger between 1862 and 1973: 115 Fungi, 55 Plantae, 53 Animalia, 11 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Archer, W. A., C. H. Jones, CLACK, LINDSAY 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.
