FOXNEWS>COM: Symrise Chemical Plant in Georgia rocked by ‘multiple explosions,’ ‘uncontrolled fire’: police Blaze is ongoing on Colonel’s Island outside of Brunswick, Georgia

Neighborhoods in southeastern Georgia are being ordered to evacuate Monday as "multiple explosions" at a chemical plant on Colonel’s Island have led to an "uncontrolled fire," police say.

The blaze is impacting the Symrise Chemical Plant outside of Brunswick, according to the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office.

"The plant has been evacuated, and multiple explosions have been reported," the sheriff’s office said. "There is a multi-agency fire detail on scene with more en route."

An image released by the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office shows massive plumes of smoke rising out of the facility.

The cause of the reported explosions was not immediately clear.

Symrise, on its website, says it creates "inspiring fragrance, flavor, natural nutrition and cosmetic ingredients solutions" for brands around the world.

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, the company said "Given first estimates, no one got injured and there is no danger to employees or residents. Local fire brigades and police fully control the situation on site."

"The fire occurred during the regular production hours for the manufacture of fragrance ingredients," the statement added. "Currently Symrise has no reason to believe that the fire will cause additional health hazards to the local community."

"Hickory Bluff, Sanctuary Cove, Satilla Shores and Royal Oaks are being evacuated," the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office said.

More potential evacuations are being coordinated, authorities added.

We live a few miles north and east of this, no impact us so far but lots of folks are getting evacuated that are closer and to the south due to the current wind.

At least I don't see how ammonium nitrate would fall into that.
