More than 90,000 residents in a county east of Atlanta have been told to keep sheltering in place a day after a chemical plant fire sent a massive plume of dark smoke high into the sky that could been seen from miles away.

Georgia officials are asking some residents to evacuate after a fire at a chemical plant started spreading toxic smoke on Sunday.

Manufacturer KIK Consumer Products said it was responding to the incident at its facility, BioLab, in Conyers. No injuries among employees were reported.
