Crazy smoke plume from airport area

[J-hop]

Just saw a crazy dark smoke plume coming from what looked to be the airport area. Only lasted a few minutes then the source stopped. It's hovering over the river now. Anyone else see this, or hear anything??

This happens every month, it's fire-fighter training. They light up an old fuselage.
