Volunteers sift through burned-out homes in NE Oklahoma City

Turner, who lives near the intersection of Sooner Road and NE 63, lost nearly everything she owns in the Aug. 30 wildfire, which began about a mile south of her land and destroyed more than two dozen homes in an 18-square-mile area of the city. The cause is still under investigation.

Sanders showed up to help after hearing of Turner's plight in news reports.

“God said, ‘That's her,'” Sanders said.

“It's a sorting process. We're trying to find things that are valuable.”

The fire didn't leave much other than blackened, twisted remains of iron and steel from vehicles, sheds and trailers throughout her sprawling property.

“I lost three trailers, 23 vehicles, five boats, a ceramics shop and a horse barn,” said Turner, 49.

She said she inherited the land and had no insurance for her possessions.

All of her family pictures appear to have been destroyed and her wedding rings are missing.

She said she kept the ash remains of her late parents and husband in her mobile home, but these also have been lost.
