Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 17 fires within 5 miles of Old Lebanon between 2018 and 2020, burning about 12 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:

• Lebanon
• Sugar Island
• Old Ashippun
• Ashippun
• Beaver Dam
