The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 72 fires within 5 miles of Thomas Village between 1992 and 2020, burning about 48 acres in total. None started naturally. 25 were 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.

Museums hold 202 specimens collected within 10 miles of Thomas Village between 1840 and 1973: 162 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 3 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by C. H. Jones, Charles M. Roberts, Clark, Joseph; Riddell, John Leonard 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.
