Residents east of Atlanta received new warnings to seek shelter as winds could blow a lingering chemical cloud over their areas.

A shelter-in-place order remained in effect Monday in parts of greater Atlanta after a chemical fire at a pool cleaning facility shot plumes of black smoke into the air, forced evacuations and closed roads, including a main traffic vein into the city.

A weekend fire that sent a massive plume of dark smoke into the Georgia sky has led to complaints about a strong chemical smell and haze several miles away across metro Atlanta, where some schools canceled outdoor activities and residents living near the fire sheltered at home.

Residents near Atlanta were asked again to shelter in place if a chemical cloud moved over their neighborhood as plumes from a chemical plant fire continued to shift overnight.

Georgia's Rockdale County lifted shelter-in-place and evacuation orders after a chemical fire at the BioLab facility in Conyers.

A small fire on the plant’s roof was initially contained but reignited Sunday afternoon, authorities said. More than 90,000 residents east of Atlanta were told to keep sheltering in place Monday a day after a chemical plant fire sent a massive plume of dark smoke high into the sky that could been seen for miles.
