NOWATA, OK -- Two Nowata County men are keeping busy cutting wood for customers since Christmas Eve.

News On 6 anchor Craig Day found the pair in Nowata Wednesday morning.

With all the cold weather, Tim Hicks says firewood sales have skyrocketed.

Last year, Hicks says they sold only 25 ricks of wood. This year, from Christmas Eve until today, Hicks says he has 180 ricks and orders are still coming in.

Hicks along with his nephew, Joe Taylor are putting in some long days, sometimes 14 hours to keep up with demand.
