After multiple wildfires across Oklahoma left behind thousands of acres of scorched land across the state, residents are beginning to return to their properties.
In the sky above Logan County, Jim Gardner with Bob Mills Sky News 9 captured video of flames in the area on Monday and returned Tuesday morning to survey the aftermath.

Across the state, at least 200 people have been injured as a result of the flames or extreme winds which have hampered firefighting efforts.
There have been four reported deaths, one of which was in Logan County.
Gardner flew over the remains of homes near East Charter Oak Road and Choctaw Road southeast of Guthrie, which was the target of a wildfire on Monday.

"A lot of these people lost everything," Gardner said. "Their homes, their barns or shops, absolutely everything. This is just one of the many homes here ... There's a small community here."
Gardner said the area was once a mobile home park, but now has been reduced to rubble and ash.
"I can't count how many mobile homes and double-wide mobile homes were lost right there," Gardner said. "People are still reeling from what happened Friday and Monday."
Jim Gardner joined the News 9 team in July of 2013 as the pilot for Bob Mills SkyNews 9. Jim has been awarded 10 Emmy awards, 15 Oklahoma Association of Broadcasters awards, the "Salute to Excellence" award from the Helicopter Association International, and "Pilot of the Year" from Bell Helicopter Textron.
