Tulsa's Fire Department is investigating how a diesel fuel leak started at Saint Francis Hospital.

The hospital says it has three underground diesel fuel tanks used to power the hospital's backup generator. Fire officials say one of the tanks leaked about 75 gallons of diesel into a pond at the LaFortune Park golf course.

The remaining fuel was pumped out and crews worked to clean-up the spill.

We're told the hospital's power supply is not in jeopardy and the leak posed no threat to the public.
