The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 1 fire within 5 miles of Will-O-Bee on the Lake between 2003 and 2003, burning about 400 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:

• Arrowhead Beach
• Brentwood
• Chagrin Harbor
• Chargin Harbor Beach
• Heisley (historical)
• Kirtland

Every fire recorded in Lake County

Museums hold 1,380 specimens collected within 10 miles of Will-O-Bee on the Lake between 1864 and 1975: 1,152 Animalia, 149 Plantae, 69 Fungi, 6 Protozoa, 3 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. Doolittle, A. F. Clewell, A. Woolman 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.
