Georgia Plant Fire Prompts Evacuation Orders and Containment Efforts

A fire at a resin and rosin manufacturer in Brunswick, Georgia, reignited on Saturday afternoon, prompting evacuations and a shelter-in-place order for the city. The Glynn County Board of Commissioners ordered people within a half-mile of the Pinova plant to evacuate due to the massive plume of smoke. The cause of the fire is unknown, and no injuries have been reported. This is the second fire in the area in recent months, with a plastic recycling facility in Richmond, Indiana, also going up in flames earlier this week.
