Sep 29, 2024, 07:50 PM
A significant fire broke out at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers, Georgia, early Sunday morning, causing a massive plume of toxic smoke and prompting evacuations and road closures. The fire, which started around 5 a.m., was initially contained by local firefighters but reignited later. The incident was caused by a malfunctioning sprinkler head that led to a chemical reaction. Rockdale County officials have issued evacuation and shelter-in-place orders for residents in the affected area. Interstate 20 has been closed, and authorities are urging people to avoid the vicinity due to the release of toxic chemicals. BioLab is part of KIK Consumer Products.
