“We have multiple units on the scene for the structural collapse at the Edison Power Plant building in South Boston. This remains an active incident with more details to follow,” Boston EMS posted on social media.

A construction worker told NBC they were all working when something fell on his coworkers.

The extent of their injuries is unclear.
