Fish Springs is outside the towns named on our site; call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) to confirm we can come. A dead tree is a tree to remove in most places. In a community with this much exposure it is also the first thing an inspector looks at. ## At a glance - About 92% of 552 buildings in the direct wildfire exposure zone - About 22% of households heat mainly with wood - Conner Fire of 2025 mapped 17,714 acres, center about 6 miles away - About 41 minutes from our yard without traffic ## Which trees are first to go? Dead, dying and badly damaged trees, and any that overhang the house or sit within a few feet of it. The Living With Fire guide from UNR Extension asks for the first 5 feet around a house to be free of combustible plants and material. A tree in that strip, alive or dead, is a decision for the owner and the arborist. For identification see [how to tell if a tree is dead or dying](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/is-my-tree-dead-or-dying/), and for the next step [defensible space in Fish Springs](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fish-springs/defensible-space/). ## What do the heating numbers add? About 22% of households heat mainly with wood and about 51% with bottled gas (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024, a small sample, so approximate). Where wood is a main fuel, trees removed on the property are often wanted as firewood. Say so at the estimate; for firewood availability, call the office at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Do not move firewood between regions without checking the rules; see [don't move firewood in Nevada](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/dont-move-firewood-nevada/). ## How much room does the work need? Fish Springs lots are large, and a mostly open parcel gives a crew room to set up a boom truck or a chipper. The arborist checks access, slope and overhead lines at the free estimate and chooses a method, whether climbing, boom truck or crane. ## Do you come to Fish Springs? Fish Springs is not among the towns named on our site, so we do not claim a regular presence. It is about 27 miles from the yard, around 41 minutes without traffic. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) with the address; we will confirm.
