Smoke Alert: Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station conducting fire training

Starting today, residents may notice smoke coming from Cheyenne Mountain, but there's no cause for alarm—it's part of a scheduled fire training drill by the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station Fire Department. The drills will take place from 9 AM to noon over the next week, and officials ask the public to refrain from calling 911 if they see smoke.

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN SPACE FORCE STATION — We have a heads up that starting Wednesday, you might see some smoke coming from Cheyenne Mountain, but it's all just a drill done by the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station Fire Department.

The work will last for the next week from 9 a.m. to noon at the base fire training center near the Space Force Station.

If you see smoke from this drill, you are asked not to call 911.
