If you saw and smelled smoke in parts of North Texas Thursday morning, you were not alone.
NBC 5 received multiple phone calls, emails and messages about the smoke.
The initial information released by Mansfield police dispatch said the smoke was from a controlled burn at U.S. Highway 287 and Kimble Road.
However, the source of the smoke has not been found.
Mansfield police say a thick haze over North Texas is from a controlled burn at U.S. Highway 287 and Kimble Road.
Earlier Thursday, the smoke could be seen for miles throughout the southern sections of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
NBC 5 meteorologist Rick Mitchell said the smoke hovered over the area due to a warm layer of air not allowing it to rise and dissipate quickly.
