All workers at the site were safely evacuated with no reported injuries and MATC has been ventilated. 

The Madison Police Department helped MFD establish a safety perimeter around the area and MFD asked the public to avoid E. Johnson Street, E. Dayton Street, N. Carroll Street and Wisconsin Avenue.

As of 11:30 a.m. roads were reopening but MFD crews remained on the scene according to the MFD Twitter.
