Its risk to homes from wildfire ranks higher than 98.3% of US communities, the highest in Carson Valley, so brush and tree work often go together. ## Johnson Lane at a glance - **Drive from our yard:** about 28 min 16.9 miles - **Elevation:** 4,818 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 6b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 17% median year built 1995 - **Wildfire risk to homes:** higher than 98.3% of US communities USDA Forest Service - **Owner-occupied homes:** 94% ACS 2020-2024 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). Retrieved October 1, 2026. About 6,500 people live in Johnson Lane, spread over nearly 22 square miles at about 4,818 feet between US 395 and the Pine Nut Mountains. Almost every home is an owner-occupied house on its own piece of ground. ## What is the housing like, and what does that mean for trees? Johnson Lane is about as uniform as a community gets: about 95% detached single-family houses and about 94% owner-occupied (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024). The median home was built in 1995. About 17% predate 1980, the Census sample shows none before 1960, and about 37% have been built since 2000. Every tree here was planted by someone, and most are 20 to 35 years old. Where rows were planted as windbreaks or screens along a property line, they grow into each other and into the fence, and the inside branches die from shade. [Pruning](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/johnson-lane/tree-trimming/) and [dead wooding](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/dead-wooding/) keep a screen healthy. Taking out every second tree and [grinding the stumps](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/johnson-lane/stump-grinding/) is the other route. ## How dry is Johnson Lane? Drier than Minden. A precipitation station within a mile of the center of Johnson Lane, at 4,816 feet, averages 8.14 inches a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). The Carson City station, about 6 miles north, records 14.0 inches of snow in a normal year. The 2023 USDA map puts Johnson Lane in hardiness zone 6b. Eight inches of precipitation supports sagebrush, not shade trees. A planted tree on this side of the valley lives or dies by its irrigation line. Dieback in the top of the crown during a dry spell is often the first sign of a water problem: see [drought stress and dieback](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-guide/drought-stress-and-dieback/). ## Why does Johnson Lane rank so high for wildfire risk? The community borders open rangeland that runs up into the Pine Nut Mountains. The USDA Forest Service rates risk to homes higher than 98.3% of US communities and about 83% of Nevada communities. About 28% of buildings are in the direct exposure zone and 72% in the indirect zone. None are rated minimal. Eleven fire perimeters of 300 acres or more have a mapped center within about 10 miles since 1980, among them Waterfall in 2004 (8,765 acres), C-Hill in 1988 (1,799 acres) and Badger in 2005 (656 acres). Range fires move through grass and brush fast. On a large lot the practical defenses are a mowed break around the house and outbuildings, limbs lifted off the ground and nothing flammable against the walls. We do the mowing and the tree work in one visit: [defensible space in Johnson Lane](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/johnson-lane/defensible-space/) and [lot clearing and brush mowing](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/johnson-lane/lot-clearing-brush-mowing/). ## What happens after a wind or snow event? Open ground gives wind a clear run at exposed trees. If a tree or limb has come down, call 911 when anyone is hurt, stay back and call NV Energy when a line is involved, and then call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243), which is answered 24 hours for emergencies.
