[Download this data sheet (CSV)](https://battleborntreeservice.com/data/fallon/fallon.csv) Fallon is a Churchill County town at 3,965 feet, the lowest and farthest place on our sheets at 57.6 miles from the yard. The tables compare it with Churchill County, Nevada and the United States, then show the Forest Service ranking, the three nearest NOAA stations and the fire list. The fire list is empty, which is itself the result. ## The low-risk result The Forest Service ranks risk to homes above 30.8% of US communities and wildfire likelihood above 30.3%. Of 3,939 counted buildings, 2.1% are directly exposed, 1.5% indirectly and 96.4% minimally. Churchill County as a whole ranks above 74.1% nationally, with 40.9% of its buildings directly exposed. The county figure covers a far larger area than the town's streets. The fire table is empty. No mapped perimeter of 300 acres or more has a center within about 10 miles of Fallon, which is rare among the towns we cover. ## Older housing The median home was built in 1985. Homes built before 1980 are 39.8% of the total and 16.5% were built before 1960, higher than the county's 12.2%. Owner-occupancy is 50.7%, well below the county's 69.9%, and 62.4% of homes are single-family detached. Mobile homes are 9.2%, against 16.9% for the county. The median home value is $282,700. Wood is the main fuel for 0.9% of households, bottled gas for 1.7%; the county's figures are 6.7% and 16.0%. The county as a whole leans far more on wood and bottled gas than the town does. ## What this means for trees in town With the fire rows quiet, the case for tree work is about the trees themselves: age, structure and storm damage. [Trimming](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fallon/tree-trimming/), [removal](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fallon/tree-removal/) of large old trees and an [arborist's assessment](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fallon/arborist/) fit the housing age, with [lot clearing and brush mowing](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fallon/lot-clearing-brush-mowing/) for open lots. Battle Born has two ISA Certified Arborists on staff. The yard is 57.6 miles away, about 75 minutes without traffic. That is road distance and free-flow time, not an arrival promise. ## Weather rows that fit the town The Fallon Experiment Station, 1.1 miles from the town point and at the same 3,965 feet, reports 4.77 inches of precipitation, 4.5 inches of snow and 52.1 F. Fallon NAAS, 5.1 miles away at 3,934 feet, shows 4.94 inches and 53.7 F. Both qualify. Lahontan Dam is 15.3 miles away. The Census counts 3,815 households. Rankings are comparisons; they do not clear any tree of risk from wind, snow or age. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau: American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://data.census.gov/) (pulled October 1, 2026) - [USDA Forest Service: Wildfire Risk to Communities (tabular download dated April 15, 2026)](https://wildfirerisk.org/download/) (pulled October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI: U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (pulled October 1, 2026) - [National Interagency Fire Center: InterAgency Fire Perimeter History and WFIGS perimeters](https://data-nifc.opendata.arcgis.com/) (pulled October 1, 2026) ### This place - [Tree service in Fallon](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fallon/) - [Churchill County data sheet](https://battleborntreeservice.com/data/churchill-county/) ### Talk to the office [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) | Monday to Friday | 8:30 am - 5:00 pm | |---|---| | Saturday and Sunday | Office closed, phones answered | Phones answered seven days a week. 24-hour emergency service.

The sheet makes a narrower claim: no mapped perimeter of 300 acres or more has a center within about 10 miles of the town point since 1980. Smaller fires are not in the file. ### Why is Fallon's rank so much lower than Churchill County's? The county figure covers far more ground and has 40.9% of its buildings in the direct zone. In Fallon, 96.4% are in the minimal zone. ### How much snow does Fallon get? The Fallon Experiment Station, 1.1 miles from the town point, shows a normal of 4.5 inches of snow and 4.77 inches of precipitation a year.
