Battle Born Tree Service sells a variety of firewood; call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing. ZIP 89510 covers nearly 600 square miles of rural Washoe County north of Spanish Springs, but only about 610 households. Homes sit on large parcels far apart, and more than a quarter of them heat with wood. ## At a glance - About 27.7% of households heat mainly with wood - A ZIP covering about 597 square miles for 610 households - About 39.8% use bottled gas - About 67 minutes from our Carson City yard without traffic ## The highest wood-heat share on our list About 169 of 610 households in ZIP 89510 heat mainly with wood, 27.7%, against 1.1% for Washoe County (ACS 2020-2024, table B25040). Another 39.8% use bottled gas, so the two fuels together reach about two thirds of households. Homes are mostly owner-occupied (about 96%) and about 13% are manufactured. The figures are for the whole ZIP Code, not one street, and the sample is small. ## Distance is the first fact ZIP 89510 covers about 597 square miles. Our Carson City yard is 53.6 miles from the ZIP's center point, about 67 minutes without traffic. That is a free-flow estimate with no allowance for road surface, weather or chain controls. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing well before the cold sets in, ask what is on hand and how it is sold, and ask how the wood would reach you. Nothing about species, amounts, prices or delivery is posted online. ## What the nearest gauges show The Reno 22.2 NNE rain gauge, 2.8 miles from the point we use for the ZIP and at 4,287 feet, has a 1991-2020 normal of 8.99 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA). The closest snowfall station, Sutcliffe, is 11.6 miles away and 500 feet lower, so we do not quote it as the valley's own. What the gauge does tell you is that this is dry country, where a stack dries quickly but a hard wind can carry sparks across open ground. ## Fires on the open range Our research lists the Perry fire (2018, 51,386 acres) and the Stallion fire (2026, 40,691 acres) with mapped centers within about 10 miles. The Forest Service has no risk record for this ZIP. In grass and sage country the practical lesson is the same one University of Nevada, Reno Extension gives: keep woodpiles out of Zone 0, the first 5 feet around a building, and out of dry grass. ## Burn days in rural Washoe County The ZIP is in Washoe County, so Northern Nevada Public Health's burn code applies from November 1 to the end of February. Northern Nevada Public Health also sets device rules. Ask the fire agency for your address whether a burn permit is needed before you burn brush.
