Chemical Plant in Georgia Evacuated Due to Fire

On Sunday morning, a fire broke out at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers, Georgia, causing an evacuation that included a local hospital and road closures in the surrounding area. CNN reports.

Journalists note that the incident occurred due to a sprinkler system failure, which triggered a reaction between water and chemicals. This caused the formation of a cloud, and the fire spread. Initially, firefighters managed to get the fire under control, but it reignited a few hours later.

Residents of the area between Sigman Road and Interstate 20 were ordered to evacuate, and roads were blocked. People living north of Sigman Road were advised to stay home and not open windows. The Georgia Department of Public Safety and the State Patrol were involved for assistance.

Rockdale County Chairman Oz Nesbitt confirmed that all possible resources were engaged to combat the fire. In addition to residential homes and businesses, the local hospital was evacuated. Environmental protection specialists are checking the air quality for toxins.

We remind you that earlier, there was a fire in the administrative building of a furniture factory in Barnaul.
