VIDEO/PHOTOS: The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has released new details about its investigation into the fire at the BioLab chemical plant in Conyers that sent a toxic chemical cloud into the air and forced residents to shelter in place. According to the report from the CSB, the fire began the morning of Sept. 29 after products stored inside a warehouse became wet, sparking the initial blaze. A BioLab employee on fire watch at the Plant 12 storage warehouse reported hearing a “popping sound” as they left a breakroom to do a 5 a.m. check and immediately saw that a product reactive to water was wet, the report says.
