A Georgia community has been evacuated after a fire at a BioLab facility sent a massive plume of smoke into the air.
The northern portion of Conyers, a city of 17,000, was evacuated while residents of Rockdale County, which surrounds the town and has a population of about 100,000 people, were ordered to shelter in place, according to WXIA-TV.
“In the best interest and safety of the public and all citizens, it is recommended that businesses close operations until shelter-in-place is lifted,” county officials said in a news release posted to Facebook. Schools in the area are also being closed Monday.
