Terrifying footage from burning biolab in Conyers, Georgia shows huge plume of smoke as inferno sparks massive evacuations
Thousands of people have been sheltered after a major fire broke out at a chemical laboratory in Georgia.
The footage shows huge clouds of smoke saturating the air in Conyers, Georgia, after a fire started Sunday at BioLab on Old Covington Highway, according to the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 5 a.m., a sprinkler at the facility malfunctioned and sprayed water on a chemical that caused an explosion. Atlanta News First reported.
The response resulted in a large, dangerous cloud of smoke that began drifting northeast and prompted an evacuation.
This then puts extra pressure on the Georgian emergency services
