It is, if that's what it was, but it wasn't. Bleach and ammonia make chloramine gas, not mustard gas; the latter requires additional components that I won't list here.

Chloramine gas is still dangerous until it's dealt with and the space is fully ventilated, but not to the power and severity and immediate danger that mustard gas has.

That said, again, as a PSA to everyone: do not mix bleach with anything else other than water.

Not sure what type of ring you’re getting. Sounds like wedding rings. In my humble opinion the surprise is half the part my wife wanted. I took a couple rings she wears frequently and went with one of her friends to a jewelry store and had the rings sized. I knew they fit since I discreetly asked one day how well she liked those rings.

Hazmat could be there simply because someone accidentally mixed bleach with ammonia (like what happened at Union Market last year) or something else. They're just the crew that has the appropriate protective gear and experience to go in and deal with it and make sure the building is safe for people to go back into.

If it wasn't on the news and didn't break out into social media, chances are it wasn't anything significant.
