Baltimore City Fire Chief James Wallace said the team responding to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse continues to grow as an active marine search operation is underway.
The mission started with 50 personnel including eight dive teams and continues to grow, Wallace told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Tuesday.
Sonar has been used to mark vehicles that have been found in the water, Wallace said.
One patient was transported to a local trauma center and is in serious condition, Wallace said, while another person who was on the bridge refused service and wasn’t injured.
Wallace said harbor containment boom has been placed around the vessel to try to contain the oil sheen. He said they smelled diesel fuel early this morning when it was still dark before they could actually see the sheen.
