A cloud of dark smoke can be seen at or near Great Falls International Airport. At this point, we do not know the cause of the smoke.
The photo above was taken at about 10:25 a.m. on Monday. There are several fire trucks in the vicinity of the Montana Air National Guard area.
We have a reporter heading to the scene and will update you when we get details.
(UPDATE, 11 a.m.) The smoke has dissipated, and there does not appear to be an active fire at this point.
(UPDATE, 3 p.m.) The smoke was from a prescribed burn that was conducted in preparation for this weekend's air show and open house.
At the time of the prescribed burn, there was virtually no wind present; the very gusty winds that roared across the region developed after noon.
