TL;DR Summary

About 250 residents were evacuated from the slopes of Guatemala's Volcano of Fire as red-hot rock and ash flowed down the slopes toward an area devastated by a deadly 2018 eruption. The volcano had been emitting ash clouds that could affect as many as 100,000 people in communities around the peak. The biggest danger from the volcano are lahars, a mixture of ash, rock, mud and debris, that can bury entire towns.
