The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 10 fires within 5 miles of Sandstone (historical) between 2012 and 2020, burning about 40 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:

• Carpenters Addition
• Lancaster
• Tarhe Town (historical)
• Whites
• Wacker Heights
• Colfax

Every fire recorded in Fairfield County

Museums hold 2,463 specimens collected within 10 miles of Sandstone (historical) between 1839 and 1975: 1,794 Animalia, 395 Fungi, 260 Plantae, 7 Protozoa, 5 Unrecorded, 2 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Schrader, Angerman, C. (Carl) & Triplehorn, C. A. (Charles A.), Asa Gray; W. S. Sullivant 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.
