The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 11 fires within 5 miles of Poland Center between 2010 and 2020, burning about 6 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:

• Lowellville
• Campbell
• Coitsville Center
• Crab Creek Junction
• East Side
• Fitch

Every fire recorded in Mahoning County

Museums hold 347 specimens collected within 10 miles of Poland Center between 1853 and 1974: 184 Animalia, 161 Plantae, 1 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A.E. Daugherty, B Withers, Baird, S. F. 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.
