A major chemical fire at a facility in Conyers, Georgia, has prompted the evacuation of approximately 17,000 residents, as toxic smoke containing chlorine has spread through the area. In total, over 90,000 locals have been advised to shelter in place after the blaze sent a significant plume of hazardous smoke into the atmosphere, raising serious air quality concerns. Fire officials have detected chlorine in the air across multiple counties, including areas of Atlanta. Authorities have closed sections of Interstate 20 due to safety risks, and residents are being urged to stay indoors while emergency response teams continue to manage the situation. The shelter-in-place order has been extended indefinitely as the fire triggered an unstoppable chemical reaction, affecting schools and local government operations. Investigation and containment efforts are ongoing amid reports of strong chlorine odors.
