Terrifying Disaster: A Large Fire Broke Out at a Chemical Plant in the USA.
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.
