Fire at D/FW?

A curious FrontBurnervian wants to know what’s up:

Black smoke in a big way? Looking South from terminal B??

Anyone know anything?

Update: A knowledgeable commenter says not to worry:

That is the DPS/fire fighter training area. It’s on the western side of the airport. It’s running about once a week or so, and it always freaks people out. But that is all it is.

    Um, I hate to be picky, but I think the ‘time stamp’ time did not get the Daylight Savings treatment.

    First responders at O’Hare in Chicago used to have a similar exercise, but they used an old airplane in a remote area of the airport to run the fire drill. The first time I came in over it, it was a real surprise to see a burning airplane surrounded by emergency vehicles. After that, it was fun to watch others’ reactions.
