Hundreds march following Red Hill foam spill incident

TL;DR - Hundreds of people marched from Keehi Lagoon Beach Park to the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Hawaii offices Saturday afternoon demanding the shutdown of the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.

Following the latest incident at the storage facility, where 1,300 gallons of concentrated fire suppressant spilled Nov. 29, organizations including the Honolulu Board of Water Supply and Hawaii Sierra Club led residents and supporters on a 3.5-mile march from the lagoon to demand that the facility be shut down.

The procession crossed and progressed along Nimitz Highway as protesters called in unison to “shut down Red Hill.” Some 60 organizations, via a news release, also supported a BWS demand for the immediate defueling and cleanup of the Red Hill facility.
