The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 6 fires within 5 miles of Millsboro between 2002 and 2019, burning about 14 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.

Museums hold 661 specimens collected within 10 miles of Millsboro between 1835 and 1975: 490 Plantae, 142 Animalia, 29 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Berra, T. (Tim), Berra, T. M. (Tim M.) & Berra, T. M. (Tim M.), Chase, H. (Hazel) 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.
