Rockdale County residents went to bed Monday night under the impression that a shelter-in-place order had been lifted following Sunday’s massive chemical fire at a local plant.

The chemical fumes have been emanating from the Conyers plant since Sunday. With changing wind patterns and increased cloud cover today, the smell of chlorine has reached Milledgeville and Baldwin County. However, there is no indication that the concentration of these gases poses an immediate hazardous risk.
