The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 16 fires within 5 miles of Mount Ephraim between 2009 and 2020, burning about 39 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• Mud Run
• Noble Cottage Area
• Lakeland
• Lashley
• Kennonsburg
• Sue-Lin Acres

Every fire recorded in Noble County

Museums hold 104 specimens collected within 10 miles of Mount Ephraim between 1860 and 1975: 84 Animalia, 14 Plantae, 5 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Adams, W., Adler, K. K., Adler, K. K. & Dennis, D. M. 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.
