Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 24 fires within 5 miles of Orange between 2005 and 2019, burning about 196 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:

• Powell
• Village Court
• West Lafayette
• Fairview Manor
• Flat Iron Corner
• Isleta

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 829 specimens collected within 10 miles of Orange between 1892 and 1973: 563 Plantae, 169 Animalia, 88 Fungi, 4 Bacteria, 4 Protozoa, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. D. Huryn, Barnes, R.C., Bolin, F. (Frank) 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.
