The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 30 fires within 5 miles of McCoy between 2006 and 2019, burning about 259 acres in total. None started naturally. 7 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:

• Mabee Corner
• Banner
• Blackfork Junction
• Camba
• Grahamsville
• Horeb

Museums hold 501 specimens collected within 10 miles of McCoy between 1899 and 1975: 209 Animalia, 179 Plantae, 108 Fungi, 3 Protozoa, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Bartley, F., Beach, S. (Sam), Bryant, J. 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.
