PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The U.S. Coast Guard is responding after reports of an oil spill at the Philadelphia Navy Yard along Front Street in the city's Pennsport section Thursday morning.
Fire officials said they responded to the Navy Yard just before 6:30 a.m. after about 100 gallons of diesel fuel leaked from a pump hose.
Chopper 3 was overhead the Navy Yard site, where an oil sheen could be seen in the water.
A hazmat team also responded.
The Navy Yard, which was the first naval shipyard of the United States, is set on the Delaware River.
The oil spill was considered under control as of 9:38 a.m., according to fire officials.
