The twitter account of the Firefighters Union, @IAFF36, is reporting this morning that there is a high-pressure gas leak at 2121 Massachusetts Avenue this morning in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, with hazmat trucks in response. The buildings in the surrounding area have been evacuated as a precaution.
The area near the address includes at least three embassies (India, Estonia, and Mali) and is near the Phillips Collection art museum. 2121 Massachusetts Avenue is home to the Cosmos Club, a private social club.
Traffic is shutdown in the area, so if you’re heading to Dupont by car today, consider adding some time to your schedule.
