Georgia county issues evacuation order for area around plastic resin plant after massive fire breaks out!
Georgia officials issued the evacuation order on Saturday afternoon.
The Glynn County Board of Commissioners said in a Facebook post at 6:21 p.m. that an evacuation order has been issued for the area within a ½ mile radius of the Pinova plant in Brunswick, Georgia.
According to the board of commissioners, the Jacksonville Fire Department has arrived for support.
There was a fire at the plant on Saturday morning that was deemed contained at 9:55 a.m., but according to officials, it reignited by 3:10 p.m. Before an evacuation order was issued, officials originally established a shelter in place order.
I live near Brunswick and have not been informed of this. Winds have been high today. I'm only an hour away. Not saying your wrong.
Idk? My sister is 30 mins from Waycross and hasn't said a thing. That's why I questioned it. I understand me being hour away, I may not immediately hear any news. I hope all are ok. Prayers.
The toxic spread goes by volume rather than in a lineal measurement. So as a rule of thumb, something twice the distance away will be eight times less toxic. Still, I don't know the details about how toxic this cloud is. Maybe best to set one's air conditioning on circulate, rather than importing new air for a while.
Thank you! I think it's because I live hour away. I appreciate the info. My sister lives closer than I do and hasn't said anything. That's why I questioned it.
An evacuation order is in place for those within a half-mile radius of a plant fire that reignited Saturday afternoon in Brunswick, Georgia, according to the Glynn County Board of Commissioners and the city's mayor.
The fire at the Pinova plant, which delivers specialty rosin and polyterpene resins, initially broke out Saturday morning, with the board saying on Facebook nearly three hours later that it had been contained and there was no immediate concern for public safety.
Later Saturday, the board said in another Facebook post that the fire had reignited and issued a shelter-in-place order for a one-mile radius around the plant.
Oh ok. Maybe because I live an hour away is why I didn't get it. And haven't heard. Thank you.
Hour away with toxic chemicals! Stay safe!
Thank you fren. I closed my windows. Air is off. Luckily it's cool tonight. I appreciate your warning. We never got it on the "news"
