Oklahomans across multiple counties were impacted by Friday's wildfires. News 9 photojournalist Chase Boyer visited with a Luther family who was grateful to return home.

"Well yesterday we were watching everything, of course and it seemed like it was going a different direction," said Warren Wiard.

Warren and Janet Wiard spent Saturday searching for their things. The pair had a lot to look through in their properties on the north and west sides of Luther.

The fire that took so much from so many left them with guilt.

"It's hard to deal with sometimes, survivors guilt," Warren said.

But the pair were filled with gratitude for the neighbors that helped them save their houses.
