PETERSON SFB — The Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station (CMSFS) Fire Department will be conducting live fire training from 9:00 a.m. to noon today, March 21.

Residents in the area could see smoke but are asked to refrain from calling 911 to report a fire. According to CMSFS, "all safety protocols are in place and the training is performed in a controlled environment."
