Burke/Stars And Stripes) 2 Feb 2021 CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa – The 18th Wing was warned of the fire risk in a warehouse on Kadena Air Base two weeks before a blaze gutted the structure on June 22, according to an Air Force investigation. The fire occurred as a result of improperly stored chemicals, according to the report released last week by the Air Force Ground Investigation Board. Investigators traced the fire s origin to the southeast corner of building 3150, a hazardous materials warehouse of the 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron, according to the report. The report states that calcium hypochlorite improperly stored there at least 20 months caused the fire.
