Firefighters needed to help with Oklahoma wildfires

Large donations of water and Gatorade have helped hundreds of Oklahoma volunteer firefighters battle the recent wildfires.

Wildfires have scorched more than 111,000 acres in Oklahoma since the fires started August 3.

Officials say the donations are helpful but what they really need is more firefighters.

To be a volunteer firefighter you need a minimum of 140 hours of classroom instruction and training.
