The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 367 fires within 5 miles of Lawrence between 1992 and 2020, burning about 1,868 acres in total. None started naturally. 122 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:

• Lawrence Furnace
• Bartles
• Center Station
• Lisman
• Dean (historical)
• Etna

Every fire recorded in Lawrence County

Museums hold 312 specimens collected within 10 miles of Lawrence between 1890 and 1974: 244 Animalia, 41 Plantae, 27 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Avery W. B., Bartley, F., Boepple 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.
