My buddy sent me this.... Ok who hit the wrong button.....
Fort Drum says there was no damage to six Black Hawk helicopters after a fire suppression system malfunctioned and sprayed foam inside one of the main hangars at Wheeler-Sack Army Airfield.
The system, which pumps foam through ducts in the ceiling of the hangar, malfunctioned around 8:48 a.m. Tuesday, according to Captain Peter Smedberg, public affairs officer for the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade.
Captain Smedberg said the foam is non-corrosive and did not damage the aircraft housed in the hangar.
He said the foam was approximately 8 feet deep.
The helicopters will be washed down and the hanger cleaned up.
Captain Smedberg said an investigation will be conducted to determine what caused the system to activate.
