Fuel vendor causes marina oil spill
Posted
According to a city press release, the Fernandina Beach Fire Department (FBFD) was dispatched earlier today to a reported fuel spill at the Fernandina Beach Harbor Marina. The estimated amount of fuel released is currently undetermined.
The spill occurred while a vendor was filling the Marina fuel storage tank. All appropriate local, state, and federal agencies were promptly notified, and immediate response efforts were initiated to contain and mitigate the situation.
Moran Environmental, in coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard Emergency Response Team, swiftly arrived on the scene and began mitigation measures to contain the spill and prevent further environmental impact. Crews are actively working to secure the area and initiate cleanup procedures in accordance with environmental safety standards.
The FBFD, along with city officials and environmental agencies, is closely monitoring the response to ensure the safety of the community and the protection of the marina's ecosystem.
Our primary concern is the safety of our residents and the protection of our natural resources.
We are committed to working alongside Moran Environmental and all responding agencies to resolve the situation as efficiently and safely as possible.
