New Chemical Cloud Scare

Posted: 12:41 p.m. EDT May 28, 2004

Conyers -- A new, small chemical cloud formed over the BioLab fire in Conyers today when fire crews hit a hot spot in the smoking rubble.

Health officials rushed to the scene to evaluate the situation.

No evacuations have been ordered.

On Monday a cloud of irritating chlorine spread for hundreds of miles from the fire scene. Thousands of people were forced to spend the night in shelters.
