On November 20, 2021, 19,000 gallons of jet fuel leaked from Red Hill Bulk Fuel Facility, a fuel depot located just 100 feet above state-designated drinking water near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. At least 6,100 patients reported a wide range of symptoms, from gastrointestinal and neurological damage to babies’ skin “as red as our flag’s.”

Despite residents’ tap water smelling like jet fuel, the Navy maintained that the water was safe to drink. Amid a groundswell of public complaints, the Navy finally shut off the Red Hill pumps on November 29, a full nine days after the leak.
