A weekend fire that sent a massive plume of dark smoke into the Georgia sky has led to complaints about a strong chemical smell and haze several miles away across metro Atlanta, where some schools canceled outdoor activities and residents living near the fire sheltered at home.

A day after a massive chemical fire sent a cloud of toxic chlorine gas into the atmosphere, more than 90,000 residents in Georgia's Rockdale County were told to remain sheltered indoors on Monday.
