The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 8 fires within 5 miles of York between 2003 and 2018, burning about 25 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:

• Adena
• Newell
• Piney Fork
• Robyville
• Herrick
• Ramsey

Every fire recorded in Jefferson County

Museums hold 174 specimens collected within 10 miles of York between 1876 and 1966: 130 Animalia, 32 Plantae, 12 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A. W. Cusick, Arden R. Gaufin, C.H. Kennedy 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.
