The Navy says there is no evidence of any drinking water contamination after a spill of about 11 hundred gallons of fire suppressant at a fuel facility. A cleanup is underway at the Red Hill fuel facility after the spill Tuesday of Aqueous Film Forming Foam, which is used to suppress fires caused by flammable liquids such as fuel and contain PFAS, a class of chemicals that are slow to degrade in the environment. Navy Capt. M.D. Sohaney, commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor- Hickam, said there is no indication of drinking water contamination and that the nearest well is a mile away but no longer supplies drinking water.
