Residents living east of Atlanta were evacuated while others were told to shelter in place following a massive fire at a chemical plant in the area, which sent massive plumes of dark smoke into the sky.
According to local media, the fire began when a sprinkler head malfunctioned early Sunday at the BioLab plant in Conyers, according to Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel. That led water to mix with water-reactive chemicals, releasing the plume.
