A malfunctioning sprinkler at BioLab in Conyers caused a chemical reaction leading to a hazardous plume, prompting an evacuation of a large part of the city.
Officials have confirmed that water accidentally mixed with a reactive chemical, resulting in a plume that led to the evacuation order for around 17,000 residents.
Sheriff Levett stated the fire reignited after being briefly contained, "It's burning pretty good and we are trying to get that under control," he emphasized.
Fire Chief McDaniel highlighted the ongoing emergency response efforts, declaring, "We have about 60 folks over there working through this, it's going to be a long process."
