Tulsa's Army National Guard Base Accidentally Covered In Foam

Tulsa's Army National Guard Base Accidentally Covered In Foam



TULSA, Oklahoma - Fire suppression foam accidentally covered several helicopters at the Oklahoma Army National Guard base in Tulsa Tuesday morning. The foam didn't cause any damage to the choppers and didn't cause any injuries.

The base is located next to Highway 169 at 46th Street North.

A civilian contractor was testing the base's alarm and safety system and accidentally triggered the suppression foam equipment inside the hangars. The foam filled the hangars and buried ten Black Hawk helicopters, seven parked in the hangars and three on the ramp outside.

................

Kavanagh says the unit has 11 Black Hawks and only one of them escaped contact with the foam.
