Battle Born Tree Service sells a variety of firewood; call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing. Lemmon Valley sits north of Reno near 4,950 feet, in the North Valleys where winter nights run colder than in the city core. The wood-heat share here is about three and a half times the share in the surrounding ZIP Code, which tells you the stoves are concentrated in the valley's own streets. ## At a glance - About 9.4% of Lemmon Valley households heat mainly with wood - About 3.6 times the rate for the whole of ZIP 89506 - About 48 minutes from our Carson City yard without traffic - Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing ## A valley that burns more than its ZIP Code The Census Bureau counts about 177 households in the Lemmon Valley area that heat mainly with wood, out of about 1,875 (ACS 2020-2024, table B25040). Across all of ZIP 89506, which also takes in Golden Valley and other North Valleys streets, the share is about 2.6%, or 416 households. Washoe County as a whole is about 1.1%. A place figure this size carries a wide margin, so read it as a pattern: wood heat is part of daily life in Lemmon Valley in a way it is not in most of Reno. About 95.8% of homes here are owner-occupied, and about 17% are mobile or manufactured homes. Another 29.8% of households use bottled gas as their main fuel, so wood and gas together cover a large part of the valley. ## What the Stead station says about the cold The Stead weather station, 2.3 miles from Lemmon Valley and at 5,101 feet, records a 1991-2020 mean temperature of 51.0 F and about 16.7 inches of snow a year (NOAA). That is cooler than the Reno airport, which sits about 700 feet lower. ## Distance from the yard Our Carson City yard is 40.9 miles from Lemmon Valley, about 48 minutes without traffic, a free-flow estimate that does not allow for weather or chain controls. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing: the office tells you what is on hand, how it is sold and how the wood would get to your address. We do not publish species, quantities, prices or delivery terms online. ## Burn days in Washoe County Lemmon Valley is in Washoe County, where Northern Nevada Public Health runs a winter burn code from November 1 to the end of February, with green, yellow and red days. Its wood-burning device page also limits where fireplaces and certified wood heaters may be installed, with larger lots treated differently from small ones. Check the code on the day you burn and ask the agency about your own device. See [Washoe County burn codes explained](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/washoe-county-burn-codes/). ## Where the woodpile goes The USDA Forest Service puts Lemmon Valley's wildfire risk to homes higher than about 99% of US communities, and about 45% of its buildings sit directly exposed to burnable vegetation. University of Nevada, Reno Extension's Living With Fire guide asks that woodpiles be cleared from Zone 0, the first 5 feet around a building. A stack near the fence line, well off the house, is the simple way to follow it. The EPA also advises storing wood off the ground with the top covered. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), Lemmon Valley CDP, ZCTA 89506 and Washoe County](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Stead station (USC00267820)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [Northern Nevada Public Health: Wood-Burning Devices](https://www.nnph.org/programs-and-services/air-quality/Wood-Burning_Devices.php) (read October 17, 2026) - [University of Nevada, Reno Extension: Living With Fire (SP-23-07)](https://extension.unr.edu/publication.aspx?PubID=5522) (read October 17, 2026) - [USDA Forest Service: Wildfire Risk to Communities (data dated April 15, 2026)](https://wildfirerisk.org/) (read October 1, 2026) - [US EPA Burn Wise: Build Firewood Storage](https://www.epa.gov/burnwise/build-firewood-storage) (read October 17, 2026) - [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap roads, free-flow drive time from 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 48 min 40.9 miles - **Elevation:** 4,954 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 53% median year built 1979 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).
