The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 10 fires within 5 miles of Midway between 2012 and 2017, burning about 39 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:

• Arrowhead Lake
• Chateau Estates
• East Swanton
• Garden
• South Swanton
• Wilkins

Museums hold 752 specimens collected within 10 miles of Midway between 1875 and 1975: 639 Animalia, 102 Plantae, 6 Fungi, 3 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Selby, A. Lose, A.E. Daugherty 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.
