Authorities in Guatemala have ordered evacuations around the Fuego volcano, which is erupting. The Guatemalan disaster agency, CONRED, confirmed the eruption started Monday morning and intensified throughout the day. This led to evacuation orders for two villages. Images show clouds of gas and ash as lava flows down the slopes. The Guatemalan Seismology Institute reported a lava fountain up to 1,000 feet high. Authorities are evacuating El Porvenir and Las Lajitas, affecting around 250 people. A major highway is closed, and classes are suspended in nearby towns. The Fuego volcano is one of Guatemala's most active.
