The AIR-EE team would like to thank DOT responders including HNL ARFF, Baseyard Airfield and Ground Maintenance Unit (AIROMF), as well as Ramp Control (AIR-ORC) who took fast action when responding to a large fuel spill that occurred last year March 4.
Responders were able to keep the spill from R m being a lot worse than it was.
A big mahalo to Airport Duty Managers who encouraged staff to cover drains in the immediate vicinity of the spill.
