Several grass fires broke out in Oklahoma on Sunday. A helicopter pilot with News 9 flew overhead as wild horses escaped a fire near Ochelata on Monday morning.

The footage shows the horses crossing a stream with ranchers nearby to help.

It doesn’t appear that any of the horses were harmed.

The 11-square-mile fire was started by a single-vehicle crash, according to AP.

Oklahoma Forestry Services sent out bulldozer crews and water-carrying airplanes to prevent the fire from reaching homes.
