The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Savona between 2002 and 2002, 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:

• Baker
• Beechgrove
• Clark
• Fort Jefferson
• Glen Karn

Museums hold 358 specimens collected within 10 miles of Savona between 1838 and 1973: 340 Animalia, 10 Fungi, 7 Plantae, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A VERWYST, A. F. C.; Stover, W. G., Andrew R. Moldenke 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.
