Battle Born Tree Service sells a variety of firewood; call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing. Topaz Ranch Estates sits at 5,186 feet in the hills east of Topaz Lake, a community of about 1,600 people where nearly 60% of homes are manufactured. It has the highest wood-heat share in Douglas County among our towns. ## At a glance - About 25.8% of households heat mainly with wood - About 53.7% heat with bottled gas - Weather station in the community: 5.92 inches of precipitation a year - About 63 minutes from our Carson City yard without traffic ## Four households in five Add wood (25.8%) to bottled gas (53.7%) and about 79.5% of Topaz Ranch Estates households rely on one of those two fuels as their main heat (ACS 2020-2024, table B25040). Douglas County overall is 4.5% wood and 8.1% gas. ZIP 89444 runs about 18.3% wood. Small-place figures carry wide margins, but the gap with the county is too large to be noise. ## A dry station next door The Topaz Lake weather station is half a mile from the community and at 5,292 feet, about 100 feet above it. It records a 1991-2020 normal of just 5.92 inches of precipitation a year and about 18.3 inches of snow, with a mean temperature of 51.9 F (NOAA). A stack at this elevation dries well between storms, which is a reason to buy early. A woodpile bought in the first cold week has less time to season than one bought in September. ## Distance from the yard Topaz Ranch Estates is 42.6 miles from our Carson City yard, about 63 minutes without traffic, a free-flow estimate. Winter roads and chain controls can add to it. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) for availability and pricing; the office can tell you what is on hand, how it is sold and how the wood would get to your address. We do not publish species, amounts, prices or delivery terms. ## Rules on the Douglas County side Washoe County's winter burn code does not reach Topaz Ranch Estates, and we did not find an equivalent Douglas County program. East Fork Fire Protection District is the district listed for the community. Ask the district before you burn brush or debris. ## Fire exposure and where to stack The Forest Service puts the community's wildfire risk to homes higher than about 98% of US communities, with about 54% of buildings directly exposed. Our research lists the Slinkard fire (2017, 9,096 acres) and the Gates Complex (2004, 8,905 acres) with mapped centers within about 7 miles. A wood-heating household needs a large stack, so place it with care. University of Nevada, Reno Extension asks that the first 5 feet around a building hold no woodpiles. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, table B25040 (house heating fuel), Topaz Ranch Estates CDP, ZCTA 89444 and Douglas County](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Topaz Lake (USC00268186)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 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) - [Mapped fire perimeters since 1980, as recorded in Battle Born research file fire_history.json (centroid distance within about 10 miles)](https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/maps) (retrieved October 1, 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 63 min 42.6 miles - **Elevation:** 5,186 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 6b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 34% median year built 1987 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).
