A fire started at BioLab on Old Covington Highway in Georgia on Sunday

Thousands of people are under shelter-in-place orders after a large fire broke out at a chemical laboratory in Georgia.

Images show huge clouds of smoke saturating the sky in Conyers, Georgia, after a fire started at the BioLab on Old Covington Highway on Sunday, the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office said.

Around 5 a.m., a sprinkler at the facility failed and sprayed water onto a chemical, causing an explosion. Atlanta news first reported.

The reaction caused a large and dangerous cloud of smoke that began to move northeast and prompted an evacuation.
