Container ship fire in LA "substantially contained", officials say

Fire crews and ship crew members continued fire suppression efforts on Saturday, officials said, after the vessel was towed away from its berth at the Yusen Container Terminal. Marine units continued cooling the ship's exterior, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

TV footage from an ABC affiliate showed firefighting boats shooting streams of water on the ship's sides and over containers on fire on the deck.

On Friday, the fire and subsequent explosion on the ship spurred concerns that hazardous materials were burning.
