Colorado Springs Utilities (CSU) officials assure citizens that there is no fire near the Birdsall Power Plant. The plant, located at 213 Nichols Boulevard, is operating more than normal due to planned Front Range Power Plant maintenance. The "smoke" that people are seeing is steam generation from Birdsall's units. In cold weather, steam condenses and can become more visible. This is sometimes mistaken as smoke. Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) has also confirmed on social media that there is nothing to worry about. CSU and CSFD ask that people do not call 911 to report an emergency at the power plant. ____Watch KOAA News5 on your time, anytime with our free streaming app available for your Roku, FireTV, AppleTV and Android TV.
