Default Infected firewood| oakwilt| oak ?

I have been lucky enough to find a huge amount of oak that was felled 6 months ago; the owner of the property doesn'y burn so he said I can have whatever I can carry. He said the trees were taken down because of some type of disease that the tree removal contractor told him is spread in the ground from oak to oak.

Could this be oak wilt and if so, is there any chance the firewood could spread the disease to the oaks near my woodpile?

The wood is unsplit and cut into rounds; we have had a few hard freezes in the last month bu it's been mild recently.

Thanks,

Tom
