We're looking for Rockdale residents who want answers about what happened in the Bio-Lab fire and response.

This movement has created a priority list of open records that we want you to help us file with Rockdale County government.

The process is free, easy, and you will be able to ask any questions you have before doing so.

So, are you in?

Want to learn the real story behind the Bio-Lab fire?
