Thousands of residents of Rockdale County are demanding answers days after a fire at the BioLab plant in Conyers.
Channel 2′s Michael Seiden was near the plant Tuesday night and he said just being outside smelled like he was standing in a giant indoor pool with the potent smell of chlorine in the air.
Earlier in the evening Seiden visited Johnson Park where he saw Rockdale County resident Victoria Rogers getting in some exercise.

She came out for a walk in the park despite warnings from health leaders to shelter in place.
“I’m not going to be out as long as I normally try to be. I might do one more lap,” she said.
Rogers said she was out running errands on Sunday afternoon when she saw the huge plume of smoke rising from the plant.
“Honestly, I thought Jesus was coming back,” she said about her reaction to first seeing the skies filled with dark smoke.
She said she drove home and within hours the smell of chlorine had consumed her apartment.
