Into The Sky!
Guatemala’s Fuego volcano erupts.
Guatemala’s Fuego volcano sends ash and gas spewing into the sky over nearby communities.
Full script:
The Guatemalan government issued a warning to avoid the area around Fuego volcano after it
spewed ash and lava into the sky on Tuesday.
The volcano of fire is located about 25 miles southwest of Guatemala City, and overlooks the
tourist city of Antigua. It erupted on Monday, shooting ash and volcanic gas nearly 1,200
(~4,000 ft.) meters into the sky, with lava flows up to 1,300 meters (~4,250 ft.) in length.
Guatemala’s National Coordination for Disaster Reduction, or CONRED, monitored the
volcano’s activity.
[David De Leon, CONRED Spokesman]:
“The CONRED system is monitoring the eruption of Fuego volcano. The eruption began
in the morning and has caused ash to fall on some nearby communities. Some columns
of smoke reaching up to 1,200 metres (~4,000 ft.) have been detected around the crater.
This has caused alarm among some local people. It has not been necessary to evacuate
people so far. The activity is very similar to that which occurred during the months of
May and July. But this time the rumbling and audible sounds have been much greater.”
Fuego volcano has forced evacuations before, and Guatemala’s Director for Disaster
Response Operations, Sergio Cabanas, said that local areas had plans in place.
[Sergio Cabanas, Director for Disaster Response Operations]:
“All the communities have their evacuation plans. We spoke to community leaders and local
co-ordinators in each community so that they can go to a security area as soon as a bigger,
more intense eruption occurs. From there they can evacuate along routes designated in their
action plans.”
The National Institute of Seismology, Volcanology, and Hydrology (INSIVUMEH) released a
special bulletin on Wednesday that said the eruptive episode had ended after 32 hours.
However, they noted that there was a chance that it could recover, recommending for CONRED
to stay alert.
