At

gallons of gasoline. The majority of the fuel was consumed during the
fire, but runoff from the accident did enter Mobile Bay through a storm
drain. Mobile FD conducted fire fighting response. Consequence
management was conducted under Unified Command consisting of EPA,
RP (responsible party) ADEM, USCG, ALDOT, and support Agencies NOAA and
USFWS. The RP hired a response contractor. Residual fuels were contained, remedied and monitored within the immediate area of the
