CONYERS, Ga. -- An interactive tool can help residents track current air quality after a fire at a Conyers plant sent a chemical cloud over Rockdale County.
The city of Conyers was evacuated, and the wider Rockdale County was put under shelter-in-place guidance after the fire broke out at the BioLab plant on Sunday. The fire has since been contained, but lingering material has been "off-gassing" and sending a plume of chemical smoke into the sky. While a shelter-in-place has since been lifted, residents are being told to be on the lookout for plumes and stay indoors if it moves into their area.
