A lightning strike destroyed over half S & D Firewood’s inventory, but community efforts extinguished the fire with no injuries.
S & D Firewood, a Manhattan-based company with over 30 years of operation, lost more than half its 4,000-cord inventory—worth at least $130,000—in a fire caused by lightning.
Neighbors, former coworkers, and volunteer firefighters helped contain the blaze, though strong winds reignited it, requiring continuous efforts until it was fully extinguished.
No injuries or equipment damage occurred, and the company has resumed normal operations.
Manager Kristy Thompson expressed gratitude for community support and plans to offer the remaining charred wood to customers for free.
