It's foam, it's designed and I quote one of the links
The foam generators suspended from the ceiling released suppressant similar to soap that submerged the planes in the hangar. It takes two minutes to fill a 90,000 square-foot hangar with more than three feet of two percent high-expansion biodegradable foam.
Here’s a video showing how fire suppression systems work.
Impressive isn't it.

At a foreign base I once worked at, a severe thunderstorm was forecast. The chief engineer decided to bring all the aircraft into the hangar to protect them.
The storm arrived, the hangar was struck by lightning and the foam system was triggered!
Result as above.....

May not be a problem for the USAF as such.

Bloggs to Pratt "Pratt, hit that red button on the hangar wall, then we can go for a pint or two"
