<p>Some residents in Conyers, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a>, have received orders to evacuate, while others have been told to shelter-in-place, following a fire at a chemical plant.</p>
<p>Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel said on Sunday that the fire was caused by a water-reactive chemical and a sprinkler malfunction.</p>
<p>&#8220;What we know is about 5 o&#8217;clock this morning, a sprinkler head malfunctioned, causing a mixture with a water-reactive chemical,&#8221; she told reporters. &#8220;That chemical produced a plume that has been shifting north.&#8221;</p>
<p>McDaniel said it&#8217;s unclear what chemicals are contained in the plume. She added that the plant was evacuated and everyone in the nearby area is safe.</p>
<p>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was en route to Rockdale, the fire chief said.</p>
<p>Images and video of the massive plume have been posted online. Meteorologist James Spann posted images from Interstate-20 in Conyers:</p>
