Incredible footage has been released showing the massive wildfires that burned hundreds of acres of crops and destroyed several buildings in Oklahoma on Sunday.

The two wildfires burned over 2,000 acres of farming land in Oklahoma’s Logan County and led to fire crews having to fight back a half-mile wide wall of flames that had engulfed the side of the main interstate in the area.

By yesterday evening, large parts of the fire had been contained, with residents being able to return to their homes and the roads being reopened.
