Crews have worked hard over the last several days to contain a fuel spill in San Francisco. Coast Guard officials say a fuel line ruptured during a fuel transfer aboard an oil tanker about two miles south of the Bay Bridge. A large patch of oil drifted south with the tide before booms were put in place to help contain the oil. The oil affected a few beaches and some wild life. Wildlife workers found thirty six sea birds covered with oil. The birds were turned over to the "Oiled Wildlife Care Network" where they got warmed up, fed, and washed.
