Neighbors concerned about possible fuel in creek

We also want to get ahead of what's happening around the Bay Area here. Neighbors near Reed Park in Tampa, they're concerned about an odor near a creek behind their homes. They say it's been going on for several days, and FOX 13's Kylie Jones has been out there for us today. Spoke to some of them, joins us live. So what did you find out? What is this about? Hey, yeah, Mark. Well, we're still trying to figure that out. They're trying to get to the bottom of this. But one thing they've described it to us as is the smell of diesel coming from behind their home. And one neighbor is concerned because this is a place he walks. People take their dogs or where kids play outside. So they have described this odor over the last couple of days as a fuel or diesel smell coming from the creek behind their homes. This is the South Riverside Seminole Heights area. And they walk along the creek, which opens up to Reed Park and the Hillsborough River ultimately. One neighbor took these photos and he says it looks like some type of fuel might have been in the water. We could smell this smell that you could almost taste and then you could look at the water on the creek and there was a sheen to it and it didn't smell. I mean it really was very pungent and then we walked down to the actual park and you could see it going through the creek into the pond and then into the actual river, Hillsborough River. Now, Tampa Fire Rescue confirmed that its crews were originally called out because it first came in and was reported as a possible hazmat situation, but Tampa Fire Rescue did refer us to the Hillsborough Environmental Protection Commission, so we reached out and we'll update you guys when we hear back. Hopefully, they can find the source of this quickly. Kylie Jones, Lifeforce, thanks much.
