That chemical fire in Atlanta looks bad. Real bad. Prayers out for the safety of the firefighters and the folks in the area.
Trying to find info on the fire in Atlanta and what started it, so far just a pre-dawn fire?????????
My mother has been saying they found empty boxes (similar to the suitcases) around. I couldn't find in print so I brushed it off (mother you know). Anyway I ran across this it is an old article but I don't remember it in the news.

A hazardous materials team responded early Tuesday afternoon to an office building on Parklake Drive in DeKalb County. A substance apparently caused skin irritations to six employees of Lanier Worldwide, who have since been transported to DeKalb Medical Center for an evaluation, according to Fire Lt. Eric Jackson.
The workers were immediately quarantined inside an office while awaiting for the arrival of emergency responders. The hazardous materials crews suited up and entered the building, which was not evacuated.
A short time earlier, police evacuated a Gwinnett County Wal-Mart because of concerns over a suspicious substance. Workers at the Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road store became concerned when their paychecks turned up with an unknown substance on them.
Everyone exposed to the checks appeared to be fine. UPS, which delivered the checks, has been notified.
