Why you might see smoke from Boeing Field next week

Why you might see smoke from Boeing Field next week

King County International Airport, also known as Boeing Field, will conduct a full-scale emergency exercise on October 21. The drill, which will occur from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., will simulate an aircraft accident on the airfield's south end, with emergency vehicles and personnel responding as if it were a real emergency. People in the area may see a damaged aircraft, smoke, and "victims" with simulated injuries, but should not call 911. The airport will remain operational, with the main runway open, but some areas may be closed.
