The fire sent a thick plume of smoke into the air from the plant, located outside the port city of Brunswick, about 70 miles south of Savannah.
Neighborhoods near a chemical plant in Georgia where a large fire was burning were evacuated on Monday.
Smoke hazards and a risk of explosions prompted officials to order people to leave three neighborhoods within a 1-mile radius of the Symrise chemical plant, Glynn County government spokesperson Katie Baasen said. People within a 3-mile radius were being told to shelter in place. An evacuation order has been issued for the Hickory Bluff area and Sanctuary Cove subdivision east of I-95 due to a nearby chemical plant fire.
Those evacuating can find shelter at the PSA Recreation Center located at 1050 Wildcat Drive in Kingsland.
