BALTIMORE (AP) — Crews were working Thursday to contain and clean up a 2,000-gallon (7,570-liter) diesel fuel spill in Baltimore’s harbor, according to state and city officials.
Initially, Johns Hopkins Hospital reported a contained 200-gallon diesel fuel spill at its East Baltimore facility on Wednesday morning, but a few hours later the fire department responded to a 911 call for a spill at a marina in Harbor East more than a mile away, officials said.
