Fort Carson said the smoke is coming from a training area and is a controlled burn.
The fire has not prompted any evacuations.
BREAKING: We are seeing another fire burning in the Fort Carson training area very close to where the Midway Fire started. We are just south of High Stakes View now, neighbors say this is exactly what the Midway Fire looked like at first… @KOAA pic.twitter.com/eDnNFgm37w

The fire is near where the Carson Midway Fire sparked in March. That fire prompted evacuations, destroyed structures and burned more than two thousand acres.
