BioLab was still smoldering at mid-morning Wednesday, Oct 2, 2024 as a large mile-long plume was still visible over Conyers as crews worked at the plant that caught on fire days earlier. But as the sun lifted above the horizon, so did the shelter-in-place order for Rockdale County residents. Those living nearby have been advised to stay inside every evening through early morning until Friday. (John Spink/AJC)
