The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 34 fires within 5 miles of Luhrig between 2006 and 2020, burning about 82 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:

• Brookville
• Beaumont
• Chauncey
• Five Points
• New Mansfield
• New Marshfield

Museums hold 1,261 specimens collected within 10 miles of Luhrig between 1896 and 1975: 1,058 Animalia, 146 Plantae, 47 Fungi, 4 Unrecorded, 4 Protozoa, 1 Chromista, 1 Bacteria. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. H. Blickle, Auburn E. Brower 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.
