CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — An evacuation order was temporarily issued Thursday for a chemical fire in Forest Park.
Forest Park Police and Fire responded to the commercial fire at 71 Barnett Rd. around 11:28 a.m. A shelter-in-place order of a quarter-mile of the incident was put into effect but has been lifted by city officials.
A Forest Park Fire official said there were no known respiratory issues, but they issued the order out of an abundance of caution because of chemicals at Polynt Composites USA, a plastic processing center.
Clayton County Fire Chief Tim Sweat said the fire was under control around 12:16 p.m.
No injuries have been reported.
Road closures will be adjusted as conditions allow, and normal traffic patterns are expected to resume.
Clayton County Fire said it appeared to originate on the third floor of the building, and the automatic sprinkler system was active and assisted firefighters put the fire out.
The cause remains under investigation.
