Chemical fire in Rockdale County Shelter in place order reinstated

12:03 p.m. | Rockdale County Government offices, including the courthouse and annexes, will be closed for the remainder of the week.

12 p.m. | During a press briefing earlier in the day, county officials shared that efforts continue to manage the aftermath of the fire. They said residents should still shelter in place if the plume or smell of chlorine is over your home. “It is essential to stay aware of the wind shifts. Due to inversion, the plume is more prone to shift during the evening, and it is recommended to stay inside during evening hours if possible and keep emergency alert notifications on your phone active,” they said.

It would be interesting to know what procedure was not done to protect people because it improved profits not to spend money to be sure of safety for others. When are the people going to learn? So we the taxpayer pay the bill...Capitalist are the biggest Welfare Queens because you the taxpayer pay the bill for killing and damaging people through cleaning up the mess...continuing the same thing despite the results is insanity
