Yep, these events are a lot more common than I had realized.

From the article above, for the Air Force alone:

High-expansion foam is used in about 146 hangars at 46 bases Air Force-wide, according to Eglin public affairs. In the past five years, there have been 25 accidental releases of the foam, including one at King Hangar in 2012.
