An evacuation order has been issued for those within a half-mile radius of a plant fire that reignited Saturday afternoon in Brunswick, Georgia, according to local officials.
The fire at the 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.
The post added that personnel from Jacksonville Fire Department in Florida had arrived to assist. Nearby roads will be closed for a period Saturday night while air drops are conducted at the site, Glynn County officials said on Facebook, adding that “planes and choppers” are on their way to the fire. Kimberly Michele Edmond, who was advised to shelter in place, told CNN the fire was still burning around 5 p.m. ET and that she could smell it from her mother’s house about a mile away.
