==== (2007) 2007 Great Siluk Floods ====
Mid-February 2007 marked the Great Siluk Floods, which occurred from February 13th to February 19th. The floods were caused by freak overnight storms on the 12th and into the morning of the 13th. The storm was not only causing rain for a long period, but making heavy rain at a fast pace. The provinces of Siluk, Bari, and Untru Siluk were majorly flooded. Reservotar, Sikkukat, and Moro suffered the most damage. Multiple residents had to navigate in boats. Some businesses were still attempting to be open. Notably, "Old John's General Store," in Sakali, opened business on a floating dock to keep residents thriving. Sakali is about fourteen miles north of Reservotar. Reservotar had 18 casualties, Moro had seven casualties, and Sikkukat had three. Additional casualties in other towns totaled five. It was one of the worst floods in Cynetian history, and the worst since the Great Cynetian Flood of 1932.

==== (2002) Ghenai Fire / Other Eastern Burnabian Fires ====
On July 16th, 2002, a fire was set to a house in the countryside of Eastern Burnabia due to arson. In turn, a wildfire started, and it spread across the forest, and later, the valley, burning down the little communities of Ghenai, Burkas, and Iloves. This became the Ghenai Fire. The fires also approached Alanera and Yibble, and the two cities were put "under warning". On July 21st, the fire approached the town of Williams, a stopover town with an estimate of 3,876 people at the time on the highway between Alanera and Yibble. Much of the town was affected in the fire, with ~2,500 people displaced out of the whole town. Among the injuries in Williams were two Scatosa natives, a small native group with a sizable population in the town, including one that was near-death. In the middle of the fires, on July 23rd, a neighborhood in Alanera caught on fire after one started in a field. The cause was found to be reckless burning. 12 people died in the fires, only three of the casualties being outside of Williams, two residents of Ghenai and a firefighter who was crushed by a falling tree.
==== (2003) Black Creek Fire ====
On July 14th, 2003, a lightning strike ignited a fire in Northern Cynetia.
==== (2005) Orange August ====
On August 3rd, 2005, Orange August occurred. It was of the worst wildfires in Cynetian history in terms of cost, damage, deaths, and size. It started in western Coteran due to a lightning strike. It spread and caused damage in Wallosia and Curveside. While all of the cities affected managed to rebuild quickly, 56 people died, and the populations in each one were highly affected. Wallosia had the most damage out of the cities in Coteran, also being the largest city in the entire province. The town of Leneds was also wiped out within the fire. The Cynetian government and other governments nearby sent aid to the cities the fire managed to reach.
=== 2011-2020 ===
==== (2013) Matorian Firestorm ====
Through the night of August 28th and the morning of August 29th, 2013, several lightning strikes hit different parts of Matoria after a very dry summer. One of the fires on August 29th started on Barber Hill directly east of Matoria City and caused a huge scare with the city preparing for the worst case scenario. The fire was put out quickly on the same day, but it damaged 16 structures. Much of the fires lasted for 1-3 days, but some persisted, most notably the Carbana Fire which burned in between Sida and Nuri in Central Matoria and threatened both towns. The fire reached Sida on September 4th and damaged 23 structures within the town. A 62-year-old man died after being trapped in a house fire, the only civilian casualty in the firestorm. The Carbana Fire burned 36 structures in total before full containment on September 7th, the last fire to be contained. The only other fires to burn structures were the Falley Fire and the Crowfoot Fire, which burned only five and three structures respectively. The fires also claimed the lives of two firefighters. One fighting the Carbana Fire and one fighting the Cristle Peak Fire.

==== (2014) Rocco Fire ====
Near the town of Rocco in Centyria.
==== (2017) Karver Hill Fire ====
On July 14th, 2017, a fire started due to a forested house fire in Smurifa. The fire spread across the pine trees to the city of Beltchain, where the forest ends. 20% of the city was burned down, which took a toll on people living in Beltchain. Eight people died, and they struggled to rebuild. With a lot of help, they had most buildings rebuilt by late 2019. Much like after Balamarecshe's fire, Beltchain made a memorial for this in 2018, called the "Memorial for Those Affected by Flame."
