New details have been revealed in the possible attempted attack at an Air Force base in California.
A video posted on an Air Force forum on Facebook showed military personnel fighting to put out the fire. The base’s Explosive Ordinance Disposal team also responded, along with the Office of Special Investigation.
Law enforcement officials have identified the driver but not released his name publicly.
Investigators are treating the incident as an act of terrorism, prompting FBI agents to join the Air Force in the investigation.
Air Force officials said there was no threat to the base, which houses some 7,000 active military members and 3,700 civilians. It’s the largest military aerial port in the United States.
“I am extremely proud of how our first responders quickly addressed the situation to keep Travis and the surrounding area out of harm’s way,” he said.
He added, “We are fortunate to have enduring relationships with federal and local law enforcement, and will continue to work hand-in-hand with them through the investigative process.”
On Friday morning, the base’s official Twitter account released another statement.
“Security Forces personnel have begun implementing additional security measures at the main and hospital gates. Be prepared for longer than usual commute times,” it stated.
