‘Volcano of Fire’ erupts in Central America

A volcano less than 30 miles outside of Guatemala City is once again erupting, sending ash, gas and rocks down the mountainside, the country’s National Disaster Reduction Commission reports.

According to data from Global Volcanism Program, the latest eruption cycle of the Fuego Volcano began in 2002, but the recent event is the most significant in several years.

The stratovolcano is less than 30 miles from the country’s capital city and has been sending thick, billowing ash clouds thousands of miles in the sky.

On the volcanic mountain, authorities say they have been closely monitoring pyroclastic flows, which contain gases, ashes and other volcanic material.

Due to the threat of impact from these downslope flows, several small villages have been evacuated for what the government said were “preventative” actions.

"National Disaster Reduction Commission" ... name doesn't make sense ... natural disasters happen when Nature exerts more power than Man ... are they going to put a cork in that volcano?
