Firewood deliveries have been a regular occurrence in past years [0,1]. It seems plausible that these past deliveries established a central place where wood is stored, and it also established a local norm where firewood is distributed. Also, this is the high plains where trees grow near rivers but basically don't grow in outlying areas, with the result that general access to wood is not easy for everyone. So it's also plausible that local conditions have established another local norm where maintaining a 3 month stash of firewood is just not done.
