Narrative:
After closing the door; aft cargo doors were still open loading cargo. Belt had oil residue that began to smoke. First officer saw white smoking coming from aft right. Initially [the flight crew] was not sure if the smoke was from the plane or outside. Captain immediately called for the jet bridge to come back. We disarmed [the door]; but when we assessed that smoke was coming from outside we stopped the jet bridge and armed the doors again. Hazmat came to clean up residue and oil
