“Hazmat situation” at the old folks home

Labor-union slang for “hazardous materials”

Evacuations, shelter-in-place over after hazmat situation at building in South Seattle
The Seattle Fire Department is asking people to either evacuate or shelter in place at a building on 33rd Avenue South in Rainier Valley.

A lot of orange cones, hard hats, yellow tape, flashing lights and siren, turns out there was nothing of substance to the charges, so the first responder labor union members all turned around and went back to their emergency services station.
