MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — United States Coast Guard crewmen on duty at the Aviation Training Center in Mobile were shocked to find their hangar full of high-expansion foam on Sunday evening.
According to Lt. Earl Roberts, the Mobile Aviation Training Center Public Relations Officer, the foam was activated due to a fault in the system.
He said a crew member left hangar two to go to another hangar to work on an aircraft.
But when that crewmember returned, hangar two’s alarms were going off, and nearly 400 gallons of high-expansion foam began filling the building.
“Still cleaning up, by the time we are done with the inspections and everything, it will probably last us till the end of the week,” Lt. Roberts said.
