The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 2 fires within 5 miles of Thacher between 2007 and 2007, burning about 5 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:

• Elmwood
• Hayesville
• Hooven (historical)
• Leistville
• Meade
• Whisler

Every fire recorded in Pickaway County

Museums hold 2,714 specimens collected within 10 miles of Thacher between 1829 and 1975: 2,467 Animalia, 150 Fungi, 95 Plantae, 1 Protozoa, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Spreitzer, A. White, M. Trautman, T. Cavender, Acker, G. & Class 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.
