A helicopter carries water to fight a brush fire on Signal Mountain.
Firefighters in the woods speak to one another during a break. A man was injured today while working to put out brush fires along Roberts Mill Road.
The unidentified man from Tennessee's Forestry Division suffered minor injuries, officials said.
The Tennessee Forestry Division contributed bulldozers and rake crews to put out the blaze, which has burned and flared amid high winds and dry air.
The Forestry Division was joined by the Tennessee National Guard, which contributed a helicopter and water dump tank, and brush trucks from the Soddy Daisy fire department and Highway 58 volunteer fire department.
Gusty winds continue to feed the fire, though officials say they have "made significant progress containing the brush fires," according to a news release from Amy Maxwell.
All crews will be extricated from the area as night falls, and Tennessee's Forestry Division will assume command starting tomorrow, Maxwell said.
Roberts Mill Road is open.
