Wildfires spread in Oklahoma

Buildings burn in Oklahoma as firefighters struggle to contain spreading wildfires.

At least 15 blazes have destroyed over a hundred structures.

The small town of Luther has been left devastated and without electricity or water.

Families had little time to save belongings as the fire swept through 56 buildings.

The local sheriff's department is investigating whether the fire was deliberately started.

A witness reportedly saw a man throw an ignited newspaper from a car window.

Wildfires have struck across a number of states already suffering from widespread drought.

Below-normal rainfall and soaring temperatures have heightened the risk of fire throughout Oklahoma.

Although a cool front is expected, there are fears that shifting winds could see the fire spread.
