  1. The Chattanooga Fire Department and other local fire crews responded to the Sevier County wildfires for a third day on Friday. ABC 9's crews traveled to Wears Valley to photograph the firefighters at work and ask residents and volunteers how the fires have impacted them. As of last night, the Sevier County government reported that the wildfire, which has been named the Hatcher Mountain Fire, has burned 3,739 acres and is 85 percent contained. (ABC 9)
