The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 36 fires within 5 miles of Prospect Hill (historical) between 2006 and 2020, burning about 159 acres in total. None started naturally. 4 were 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:

• Evergreen

Museums hold 391 specimens collected within 10 miles of Prospect Hill (historical) between 1862 and 1973: 174 Animalia, 139 Fungi, 64 Plantae, 12 Chromista, 2 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Archer, W. A., Babcocks D. O., C. H. Jones 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.
