An oil spill response crew is on its way to a site about 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana following an oil platform fire, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

The New Orleans sector of the U.S. Coast Guard said it was notified about 2:30 a.m. local time of a fire offshore. Four people at the platform who evacuated into the water were recovered by a nearby supply vessel with no reported injuries.


Those onboard the supply vessel Mary Wyatt Milano, and crews from three others, are working to control the fire.

"Clean Gulf, an oil spill response organization, is currently enroute to the platform," the Coast Guard said in a statement.

There was no word on whether sheen was apparent at the site of the blaze. There was no information yet as to which energy company was associated with the platform.

Online vessel-tracking data show the oil tanker Eva Schulte is near the site of the incident.

The Coast Guard said the incident is under investigation and response is ongoing.
