The scale of the damage caused by Monday morning’s chemical spill at Brunswick Executive Airport is still being weighed, as Brunswick officials assess the fallout and eye a costly, potentially hazardous cleanup process. The Brunswick Town Council convened Monday night, about 11 hours after a fire suppression system malfunctioned and released 1,600 gallons of firefighting foam stored inside Hangar 4. “The deployment today was our worst nightmare to have happened,” said Kristine Logan, MRRA executive director. Brunswick Fire Chief Ken Brillant says that the cleanup of a firefighting foam spill is in motion, while council members, civilian groups and residents alike express concerns about contamination.
