VANCOUVER - Crews are working to clean up a fuel spill in Vancouver's English Bay.
An emergency response team was called in to deal with an oily substance coating the water on the east side of the bay just after 5 p.m. Wednesday.
The City of Vancouver said on social media early Thursday that the substance is bunker fuel, although the size and scope of the spill have not been specified.
The city is warning that the fuel is toxic and asking people not to touch it.
Port Metro Vancouver has released a statement that says the area is now surrounded by a containment boom.
The Coast Guard, marine response teams, city officials and Transport Canada are co-ordinating efforts to recover the substance and pinpoint its source.
