ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. — Thousands of residents of Rockdale County are demanding answers days after a fire at the BioLab plant in Conyers. Channel 2′s Michael Seiden was near the plant Tuesday night and he said just being outside smelled like he was standing in a giant indoor pool with the potent smell of chlorine in the air.

Rockdale County is extending its nightly shelter-in-place order for residents across the county. The Rockdale County Emergency Management Agency is telling all residents to stay in their homes from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. through the weekend. They say the shelter-in-place order will end at 7 a.m. on Monday.

A reaction triggered by sprinkler system water pouring onto pool shock chlorination product at the BioLab facility in Conyers has continued to produce the plume.

The massive plume of smoke from a fire Sunday at a chemical plant in Rockdale County has resulted in a week-long shelter in place order.
