The Pentagon is on lockdown Thursday as emergency workers respond to the Department of War’s headquarters for a “hazardous materials incident,” Arlington County Fire and EMS said in a post to X. “ACFD units, including our Hazardous Materials Team, are currently operating at the Pentagon in support of PFPA’s Hazmat Team during a hazardous materials incident,” it said. Building systems detected an “air quality issue,” which prompted a shelter-in-place order, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement.
