The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Ralph (historical) between 2009 and 2009, burning about 1 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:

• Center Village
• Harlem
• Westerville Estates

Every fire recorded in Delaware County

Museums hold 384 specimens collected within 10 miles of Ralph (historical) between 1890 and 1975: 352 Animalia, 20 Fungi, 12 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C Whitney, A S BRADSHAW, A. P. Morgan 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.
