Here are the top three stories in Chattanooga today:

1. The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help identifying a man who was hit and killed by a vehicle on Interstate 75 near Ooltewah early Sunday morning. Investigators say the man was hit by a passenger vehicle and that drugs or alcohol were not a factor for the driver. The driver remained on the scene, was uninjured, and contacted 911. The man who was killed is described as a white male, small build, possibly in his 20s to 30s, wearing dark clothes. (The Chattanoogan)
2. The Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department responded to a brush fire off of London Lane in Apison on Saturday afternoon. High winds made the conditions more difficult to control. The 10700 block of London Lane was closed for several hours but is now open. (MyFox Chattanooga)
3. Signal Mountain Blvd. was temporarily shut down on Saturday due to several small brush fires and one large one. No homes or structures were impacted. As of today, all of the lanes on Signal Mountain Blvd. are open. (MyFox Chattanooga)
