There were no immediate reports of any spills or injuries following the incident, which happened in the Bolivar Peninsula section of the Intracoastal Waterway, according to Petty Officer Andy Kendrick. The fire was extinguished after more than four hours at around 5:25 a.m. (6:25 a.m. ET), Kendrick said. The collision happened as two tugboats were each pushing a pair of barges down the waterway, nearly 50 miles from Houston.
