Foam System Goes Off in Hangar at Hunter AAF

Hunter Crash/Fire is working an incident in which the foam system in a hangar went off. After consultations with Environmental, they are diluting the foam outside of the hangar with water and washing it down the storm drains. Communications are on TG 3504 of the Fort Stewart/Hunter AAF TRS. An aircraft was in the hangar, although damage is unknown. All personnel have been reported accounted for. The hangar is apparently Hangar 1130.

On 77.725, 224 MI Bn Ops, SUNNY OPS has told SUNNY 22 that the foam system went off in the "EW Hangar." SUNNY 22 inquired if an aircraft was still in the hangar and was told yes and that a hatch was open. Based on the context of the conversation, I'm guessing that the EW hangar is a 224 MI Bn hangar.
