Call 911 for any injury and NV Energy for any downed or snagged power line, keep everyone away from the tree, then call us. Fernley is one of the longer drives we make for an emergency tree call. It is a city of about 24,000 on Interstate 80, most of it built since 2000, and we would sooner tell you plainly what an hour's drive means than pretend it is next door. ## At a glance - About 45 miles and 60 minutes from the yard without traffic - About 55% of Fernley homes have been built since 2000 - The Fernley gauge averages 7.61 inches of precipitation a year - Crane and 75-foot boom truck in our own fleet ## What does an hour away mean for you? It means the first hour is in your hands and the emergency services' hands. Anything that threatens life goes to 911: an injury, a person trapped, fire, a gas smell, a tree across a public road. A power line goes to NV Energy. Our part is the tree itself, and for that an hour's drive seldom changes the outcome as long as people stay out from under it. We do not promise an arrival time for Fernley or anywhere else. Emergency service is offered at any hour, the phone is staffed seven days a week, and after severe storms existing clients come first, though we serve anyone in need. ## When is it worth calling a crane company from Carson City? For a tree on a building. Taking a trunk off a roof without doing more damage needs a crane or a boom truck, a crew that rigs for a living and insurance behind the work. Battle Born Tree Service owns its crane and its 75-foot Altec boom truck, is fully insured, and has two ISA Certified Arborists on staff. The crane lifts the tree away in sections; nothing is rolled across the roof. For a small tree lying on a lawn, tell the office what you have. They will tell you honestly whether it calls for an emergency visit or a scheduled one with a free estimate. ## What trees does Fernley have to lose? About 55% of Fernley's homes have been built since 2000 and the median year built is 2001 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024). Trees in those subdivisions are young. The Fernley gauge, less than a mile from the city center, averages 7.61 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals), so every one of them depends on irrigation. The larger trees are where the town is older, around the roughly 14% of homes built before 1980. Those are the ones that reach roofs and lines when wind takes a limb. For the younger trees, the common storm injury is a split where two leaders meet. An arborist can tell you whether pruning will save the tree. ## While you wait - Move everyone out of the rooms under the tree and keep them out. - Stay off the roof. Do not cut, pull or prop the tree. - Keep cars and people out from under hanging limbs. - Photograph the tree and the damage from a distance for your insurer. - Clear the driveway of vehicles if you can do it without going near the tree, so the trucks can get in.

If you are making an insurance claim, the estimate and your photos are what the adjuster will want. Your insurer decides what is covered; see [does homeowners insurance cover tree removal?](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/homeowners-insurance-tree-removal/) for general information. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, Fernley city](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Fernley 2.6 WNW gauge station](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 60 min 45.2 miles - **Elevation:** 4,154 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 14% median year built 2001 Sources: drive time from our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East, free-flow, OSRM / Census Geocoder; elevation, USGS 3DEP; hardiness zone, USDA 2023 map; housing figures, U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates; wildfire risk, USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (April 2026 data).
