The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 16 fires within 5 miles of Rix Mills between 2011 and 2019, burning about 39 acres in total. 1 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:

• Rich Hill (historical)
• New Concord

Museums hold 1,064 specimens collected within 10 miles of Rix Mills between 1908 and 1975: 914 Animalia, 147 Plantae, 3 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. H. Wright, Adams, W., Adams, W. (William), Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) et al. 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.
