Massive Fire at BioLab in Conyers, Georgia Forces Evacuations, Road Closures Due to Toxic Smoke
Sep 29, 2024, 07:22 PM
A massive fire broke out at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers, Georgia, early Sunday morning. The blaze, which started around 5 a.m., was initially contained by local firefighters but reignited hours later. The fire was reportedly caused by a malfunctioning sprinkler head that led to a chemical reaction. The incident has forced evacuations and road closures, including the shutdown of I-20. Residents have been told to either evacuate or shelter in place due to the hazardous chemical plume and toxic smoke released into the air. BioLab is known for manufacturing pool and spa treatment products. Rockdale County officials are urging everyone to avoid the area as emergency services respond to the situation.
