The Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility is a military fuel storage facility in Hawaii. Operated by the United States Navy, Red Hill supports U.S. military operations from all branches of service in the Pacific. Red Hill is the Department of Defense's (DoD) largest underground fuel storage facility and was built to store up to 250 million gallons of fuel. It consists of 20 steel-lined underground storage tanks encased in concrete, and built into cavities that were mined inside of Red Hill. Each tank has a storage capacity of approximately 12.5 million gallons. The Red Hill tanks are connected to three gravity-fed pipelines that run 2.5 miles inside a tunnel to fueling piers at Pearl Harbor. Each of the 20 tanks at Red Hill measures 100 feet in diameter and is 250 feet in height. The tanks are located under a volcanic mountain ridge near Honolulu. It was declared a Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1995.

Rest in peace to all who lost their lives.😢

Wrong island. The fire was on Maui, and the fuel tank debacle is on Oahu.
We have not forgotten Lahaina. God Bless You.
Thank you for highlighting that some law officers were helping in the evacution. But still there was a lack warning to all the residents. The road blocks were inexcusable.

Hopefully fire victims not warned could smell .
This is just so Heartbreaking 💔 to watch. Please don't forget about this once Beautiful Lahaina and the Beautiful People that once were able to call this place Home. RIP to all of those beautiful lives whom were sadly taken that terrible day. ❤
The toxic dumpsite in Oluwalu is illegal and on sacred land. Where's the Mayor? Where's true leadership?
Besides the HEAT of this fire, now the ashes are going to be dumped 1,000 ft from the ocean and the life within! (2 underground rivers also)Please everyone, Jan 2 may be last chance to stop this! It is a burial ground for Ancestors of the Hawaiian people. Please look into this those with the Aloha spirit!!! Mahalo🧜♀️❤️🙏

You do what anyone who has had a fire destroy their home does..than you do what anyone does who helps bulid back their city after it's been destroyed..if you don't own the land move to the states where you have more chance of getting housing..Wishing you a New Year with Many Blessings🎉
Thanks Oprah
False! It’s more like 5,000 missing or dead. Stop lying.
