The detection and mitigation crews have not only been busy in residential areas; they have also been working to clear Tustin Unified School District (TUSD) campuses as well. The IMT is working in close collaboration with the TUSD, South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), OC Healthcare Agency (OCHCA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure the safety of the community and children to reopen all schools to in-person attendance. To date, 27 of the 29 school campuses have been inspected and cleared to reopen for students with the exceptions of, Legacy Magnet Academy and Heritage Elementary School. Staff and student safety requires not only clearing both campuses, but also securing the area surrounding the hangar prior to releasing these campuses back to normal operation.
RESIDENTIAL UNVERIFIED DEBRIS INVESTIGATION AND MITIGATION:
Crews continue to expand into the immediate areas surrounding the hangar to investigate and mitigate unverified reports of debris related to the hangar fire. While the residential clearing of exterior (front & back yards) continues, other crews are remediating the schools, parks, and open fields. Some of these workers are literally crawling on their hands and knees, shoulder to shoulder, clearing every square foot of these areas. It’s a labor-intensive process, but progress is being made. More Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) crews are arriving to reinforce the six hundred workers already present. The focus of these inspections will begin at the neighborhoods closest to the fire. Please report any suspected debris using our debris reporting portal on our webpage at www.Tustinca.org or call 714-426-2444. Crews will leave a flyer at your door with information and a QR code to make a future appointment if they come through your neighborhood and you are not home.
THE SAMPLING & REMEDIATION PROCESS: If you have used the debris portal to report possible hazardous debris items, this is a step-by-step process for how our teams will respond:
Your report will be assigned to a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) who will contact you to set up a time to visit your home or business.
*The CAC or Certified Site Surveillance Technician (CSST) will visit your home to collect a sample of the debris and send it off-site for testing. You will be contacted to confirm whether the debris is Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
*If the debris tests positive for asbestos, an ACM remediation team will be assigned to return to your home to clean-up the debris. Upon completion of the clean-up, a third team will return to your home or business to confirm a successful remediation of the area.
You will be asked by the crew to sign a release of liability that only provides consent for the crews to access your private property to investigate and remediate any suspected material.
Please refer to the “Private Property Consent and Waiver Process” document located on the Tustin Hangar homepage in the Daily Information Update section.
*PLEASE NOTE THAT STEPS 2 AND 3 MAY BE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY
ROAD CLOSURES: All roads have been reopened with the exception of Armstrong between Victory Road and Valencia Avenue.
AIR MONITORING INFORMATION: Air monitoring and sampling locations have been set up surrounding the North Hangar Fire incident to provide the Incident Management Team real-time information on Particulate Matter (PM) in the air. While the units are in place, a graph showing the average reading for the last 24 hours has been provided for the public’s reference. This graph can be accessed from the Hangar Incident website located at https://tustinca.org.
N95 MASK AVAILABILITY: The City of Tustin has procured N95 masks. These masks will be available at the Tustin Recreation Center, located at 17522 Beneta Way (Cross streets of Prospect & Beneta). This location will be open beginning Monday from 8:00am to 5:00pm
CALL CENTER AND WEBSITE: The City of Tustin’s website contains the most up-to-date information regarding the Hangar Incident.

ALL UPDATED INCIDENT INFORMATION IN BLUE FONT
CURRENT SITUATION: The City of Tustin, U.S. Navy, Air Quality Management District (AQMD), and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have thirty-three air monitoring and sampling units throughout the area. Since monitoring began, all particulate matter from smoke and fire data at community sites are well below any level of concern. The asbestos sampling data received to date are also well below any levels of concern. The air monitoring team will provide updates on sampling results as they become available. These air monitoring units (AMUs) transmit information in real time to our partner agencies with the EPA, AQMD, and Navy. This monitoring will continue before, during, and after the eventual deconstruction and cleanup of the hangar site. DECONSTRUCTION OF THE HANGAR:
Details of the hangar’s deconstruction plan are being finalized and deconstruction is planned to take place over the next 24 – 48 hours. The intent of this effort is to extinguish all remaining hotspots of the hangar fire. At the present time, no action will be taken on the hangar doors or concrete pillars, which will be addressed upon completion of this first step. A plan is being developed to stabilize the doors in place for the safety of our workers and the public. The following bullet points outline the process and steps being taken. Utilize heavy equipment excavators to remove debris to clear roadways to allow for water trucks to access all areas of the hanger. Excavators will be used to knock down the remaining west-facing wall and create access to the heavy debris and deep seeding smoldering fires beneath. The excavator will remove all remaining hanging debris along both walls to allow safe access the structure. Water trucks equipped with nozzles and hoses will be used for fire suppression and dust abatement control throughout the process. Water trucks will be staged on the far side of the hangar with continuous water saturation toward the interior debris to further prevent further dust dispersion. A public information map was added to the website. The map depicts bulk debris collection areas near the incident site and will be updated regularly.
In an effort to advertise the Tustin Hangar Incident’s website, six large banners were hung in various locations within the City. The banners displayed the City’s website address and a QR code directing the community to the website.

Hangar Deconstruction Information
The deconstruction of the remaining north hangar structure continues to be one of our top priorities. We are working non-stop with our partners from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD), the Department of the Navy, the Orange County Health Care Agency, as well as our City and County leaders on a detailed deconstruction plan.
We have already dispatched our remediation contractor, ATI Restoration, to conduct ongoing removal of debris from the immediate area surrounding the hangar site. This is being conducted to ensure that any contaminated debris near the hangar site does not end up in our surrounding communities before, during, or after the deconstruction process.
The exact date and time of the deconstruction is not determined at this time. Although we don’t have a finalized plan, we do know that the main portion of this deconstruction will be the removal of the large metal framed doors and removal of any remaining portion of the west facing wall. The large concrete column supports on each side of the doors are not part of the immediate plan for removal.
Request Fire Debris Removal
The Incident Management Team has also launched a new debris reporting portal. This new portal is linked to GIS mapping and will allow operational personnel to better allocate resources to the impacted areas to increase efficiency. Debris previously reported to Envirocheck is being tracked and processed in the order it was received and no further report is needed. Data provided from Envirocheck has been migrated to the new portal.
Anyone who believes they have debris from the Tustin Hangar Fire Incident, regardless of what city they reside in, is encouraged to utilize the portal or call the hotline.
Remember: do not touch or disturb fire-related debris.
What To Expect With Fire Debris Removal
We recognize that residents and businesses are eager to have debris removed from their properties. There are environmental regulations in place at both a local and federal level that determine how the fire debris is assessed and safely removed. We’re working with regional partners to make sure this process is efficient and safe for the Tustin community.
Cleanup will be handled in two steps:
Debris Assessment (Envirocheck)
Debris Removal (ATI)
Here’s what to expect:
Debris Assessment: When you report debris using the portal or call the hotline at (714) 426-2444, an Envirocheck crew member will be deployed to your home or business. Crews will contact you at your home or business to assess the fire debris on the property. They will wear a mask and gloves, gather information about the debris, and report it back to the team in order to deploy a separate team (ATI) to remove the debris. This second step is important to make sure removal is done safely and properly, following local and federal rules.
Debris Removal (ATI): Once alerted by the assessment crews, ATI removal crews arrive and will handle safe removal and disposal of the debris from your property at no cost to you. Please don’t be alarmed that they will be wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for their safety, including full body suits, foot coverings, and a respirator.
Both Envirocheck and ATI are Certified Asbestos Contractors and have been approved by South Coast AQMD.
What Type of Fire Debris Should Be Reported?
Tustin community members are encouraged to report the presence of fire debris and materials on their property to theDebris Reporting Form portal or call the hotline at (714) 426-2444.

Residents should use caution and avoid areas where asbestos has been detected or is suspected. Exposure to asbestos can cause harmful health effects. If inhaled, asbestos can increase the risk of developing lung disease or cancer and if ingested, asbestos can damage the stomach or intestinal lining.
Fire debris should be avoided, and should not be disturbed with landscaping equipment.
If you encounter debris, avoid it and call (714) 426-2444 or use our portal to request that the debris be removed by professionals.
City/Navy Agreement
The Tustin City Council met on Nov. 10, 2023, in an emergency meeting. The City Council voted 4-0 to authorize approval of a cooperative agreement to implement an emergency response related to the Tustin North Hangar fire with the U.S. Department of the Navy, which owns the North Hangar property. The agreement would allow the City to take immediate actions needed for remediation of the Tustin North Hangar site, for the health and safety of the Tustin community (an initial $1 million). The Navy will fund costs to ensure that human health and safety are protected. This includes actions to ensure that asbestos assessment and remediation activities are available to Tustin residents and businesses. The funding may also be used by the City to safely demolish the hangar and stabilize the site. Link to release
