County officials in Georgia have ordered another shelter-in-place due to continued monitoring of plumes from a chemical fire at a BioLab facility in Conyers. The fire reignited when water contacted a reactive chemical on the roof, causing a plume. The fire has been extinguished, but exceedances of chlorine levels have been detected. Residents have been advised to shelter in place from 7 pm to 7 am for safety. Atlanta residents may start smelling chlorine as the plumes move west. A class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Rockdale residents for property damage, lost profits, and diminished property value. The EPA is tracking air quality using an interactive tool to monitor chlorine levels. Officials are working to neutralize the chemicals and improve air quality while keeping the public safe. The situation is not isolated to Rockdale County, as other areas in Metropolitan Atlanta are also being affected by the plumes. The government is ensuring safe conditions prevail and monitoring the incident closely. This incident highlights the importance of safety measures when handling dangerous chemicals, as residents trust companies to keep them safe. BioLab and KIK Consumer Products Inc are facing scrutiny and legal action for the damages caused by the fire.
