About 4,000 residents fled the Guatemalan fire volcano on Monday as ashes and ashes burned in the sky and hurtled down the slopes towards an area devastated by a deadly eruption earlier this year.
The Guatemalan Volcano Unit said that explosions from the high mountains (3763 meters) had shook homes with "constant sounds similar to those of a locomotive."
Incandescent materials exploded up to 1,000 meters (3,200 feet) above the crater, and streams of hot rock and ash spread out for about 2.5 km (2.5 km) on a sidewall. of the volcano. Hot explosions of pyroclastic material pushed into canyons on the slopes, while ashes drifted to Guatemala City, to the east.
Hundreds of families responded to the call of the authorities in charge of disaster coordination to evacuate 10 communities and found themselves in yellow school buses to go to shelters. The National Disaster Commission said 3,925 people were evacuated Monday morning.
The volcano of fire is one of the most active in Central America and an eruption in June killed 194 people. Another 234 are officially missing, although community-supporting organizations insisted that there were thousands of missing people.
