Firefighters are evacuating everyone in the area bounded by Pennsylvania Avenue, Jennings Street, Crawford Street and Rosedale Street, and Fort Worth PD officers are blocking roads in the area, according the post from just before noon on Monday.

“We ask that everyone please avoid this area and allow first responders plenty of room to evacuate the businesses in an orderly and organized fashion,” the post said.

The impacted area is a mix of industrial areas and apartment buildings, with some restaurants and other businesses as well.
