PHOENIX — A fire sparked at South Mountain late Saturday night.

Fire officials have not said how large the fire is.

A picture from an ABC15 viewer shows the flames to be close to the television and radio towers on the mountain. Phoenix Fire officials tell ABC15 as of Sunday morning, they cannot yet confirm whether any equipment on the mountain has been damaged.

Shortly after the fire broke out, ABC15 went off-air.

ABC15 has returned to the airwaves, but it isn't clear what caused the station to go off-air.

We are working to get more information on the fire's status and will update this story once we learn more.
