Residents describe their experience during Conyers BioLab fire

Rockdale County residents are still grappling with impacts after a fire broke out at BioLab in Conyers Sunday morning.

Not one person has come forward and say what chemical are burning NOT ONE who knows what they were CRAZY

[johnclarke]

Reminds me of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

[XRP-FLR]

Major smoke from a burning chemical bio lab and they say shelter in place? Absolutely not. I’m leaving To stay with family, friends, hotel, or sleep in my car far from that fire if I have to. Is the clown who said shelter in place living in that immediate area? I bet not!!!

[Orpilorp]

Why is something that volatile and dangerous so close to people? That just isn't right. It sounds like amother E. Palestine.

[Tipperary]

This is terrible. Hope residents stay safe.

[amiralions]

How do they get to contaminate thousands of people, three times and still be in business?

[HorseMuse]

i wish the news would mention the state, most outside 'conyers' or counties...STATEs please...

I'm 34 miles north and my lips have been burning since early this morning Before I knew what happened. Thankfully i have adult sons who stay connected ad made me aware this morning. I shut my
A/C off and havent went outside. Almost 24 after the fire..they send out a warning.
This place should be shut down. There are going to be ALOT of lawsuits from people getting sick. Reminds me of the Train Derail in South Carolina. There's an I Survived episode about it. That's why I knew how bad it is. The news and everyone are down playing this. It's BAD

[josheverett]

I am pro business but this place needs to be shut down! 2 times in 4 years is stupid!

[Cmz]

This is insane!!! These people are in danger God knows what was really going on in there

[jija]

I live about 30 miles away and our air quality is terrible my asthma is flaring up. STAY SAFE they won't tell us the truth anyway.

I love that his POS Company is already trying to deflect negligence while the disaster is still ongoing. They refuse to disclose to the public the enormity of the disaster and withheld information regarding the nature of this chemical exposure. This fire is clearly releasing enormous amount of Chlorine Gas which is highly toxic and can cause long-term damage to the lungs as well as neurological side-effects for the rest of your life. This kind negligence is purely disgusting.

[Mark-oidq]

Those people should all be staying in 5 star hotels with room service and sending them the bill for the inconvenience...

The usual, Cancer, lung issues, weird symptoms, birth defects in your children, grandchildren, or both. Skin conditions, lotsa Cancer. All the while gov and anybody liable telling you, you're fine, you're imagining things, your cat didn't REALLY have 6 legged GET OUT while you still feel well enough to work. RUN.

[donjaun]

Horrible. I hope everyone will be alright 🙏

[ejford]

Colorful smoke cannot be a good thing.

[ohnoohyeah]

Biolab has special privileges to pollute as much as they want so long as they pay a little fine. Monry talks. Thats why our world is effed.

[BGTech]

This is a massive environmental and health hazard. It's even more concerning that they are not publicly saying what is being bunt and released

[MrMike-]

Wow, Nobody knows squat. Gotta be toxic. Why not just tell us. This just creates conspiracy theories. Its just the way they work. Pray for the innocents down wind hope they were evac-ed.

What chemical is burning?
What are the exposure dangers to our health? How long do we have to live?
