'Volcano of Fire' spews lava and ash in Central America

The Fuego Volcano, located less than 30 miles from Guatemala City, has erupted, sending ash, gas, and rocks down the mountainside. Several small villages have been evacuated as a preventative measure due to the threat of pyroclastic flows. The volcano has been erupting since 2002, but this recent event is the most significant in several years. Guatemala is home to more than 30 volcanoes, with three considered active - Pacaya, Fuego, and Santa Maria.
