The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 10 fires within 5 miles of Spellacy between 2005 and 2020, burning about 17 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 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:

• New Wheeling (historical)
• Lakeville
• Lakeland Beach
• Miley Crossroads
• Big Prairie
• Nashville

Every fire recorded in Holmes County

Museums hold 189 specimens collected within 10 miles of Spellacy between 1896 and 1975: 174 Animalia, 12 Plantae, 3 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C F WALKER, Crunkilton, R. (Ron) & Crunkilton, L. (Lila), D.L. Caldwell 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.
