The Emerson Umbrella experienced an incident during construction. It seems that during construction activity, the top was knocked off of a large propane gas tank mounted on their roof. The Concord Fire Department is on site to ensure there is no leak and in an abundance of caution, the streets in the surrounding area have been closed including Main Street at Thoreau Street, Walden Street, Stow Street and Main Street, and Everett Street.

Residents and businesses in the immediate area have been evacuated. News crews on site are being asked to stage at the Hunt Gym. Please follow social media (@townofconcordma) for immediate updates, this is an ongoing event.
