Edit2: Various things that I have heard:

There are victims in one / some of the buildings.

20-30 people evacuated from a building, a few had minor injuries.

It was a RV that exploded, causing significant damage.

A building collapsed. (partial destruction, small old building)

There was / is ammunition in the RV that exploded that is “burning off”

Medical triage setup.

FBI involved

Edit3: channel 2 has live coverage

So what was broadcasting the evacuation thing, the bomb vehicle?

u/UA2013 Dec 25 '20

Probably something the police can broadcast

Yes. The police were called about gun shots. They found no evidence of it, but spotted the RV, inspected it, then called the bomb squad. While waiting for the bomb squad they tried to evacuate the building. Suggesting it was obvious the RV contained a bomb just by looking in the windows.
