A wildfire Saturday at High Point on Lookout Mountain damaged a radio tower and knocked Chattanooga radio station J103 FM off the air.

The fire reportedly did not pose a threat to homes or businesses on Saturday, but some small structures and utility sheds were under threat, according to WTVC.

Chattanoogan.com reported that the woodland fire at High Point was still burning Sunday afternoon and surging toward the vicinity of Nickajack Road.

As of late Sunday afternoon, there was no official word on what may have caused the wildfire or how much damage it had caused.
