A small fire at the BioLab plant in Conyers, Georgia, released a chlorine plume, prompting evacuations of nearly 17,000 residents and a stay-at-home order for 77,000.
Authorities ordered the shutdown of roads, schools, and government offices while urging residents to shelter in place due to air-quality concerns related to the chlorine gas.
BioLab confirmed that all employees are safe and stated their priority is the community's safety, assuring collaboration with local authorities to address the chlorine leak.
Fire Rescue Chief Marian McDaniel remarked that the smoke plume from the incident might remain visible for several days, indicating a prolonged response to the emergency.
