The Military's Public Information Black Hole

TL;DR - After some 1,300 gallons of concentrated firefighting chemicals leaked at the Navy’s Red Hill fuel storage complex in November, I wondered: Was this a one-time occurrence? Or has the military released this toxic foam – called AFFF – in Hawaii before? 

As a reporter for Civil Beat, I was able to confirm one prior release, in 2020, thanks to a whistleblower. But I wanted to know more.
