• Strong eruption at Fuego volcano produces pyroclastic flows up to 7 km, prompting evacuations, Guatemala

    ByTeo Blašković

    Activity at Guatemala’s Volcán de Fuego intensified on August 3, 2026, producing pyroclastic density currents that traveled 5 to 7 km (3 to 4 miles) through the Seca ravine. The eruption entered a paroxysmal phase late that evening, with lava fountains reaching 200 to 300 m (650 to 1 000 feet) above the crater, before currents expanded into five ravines early on August 4. SE-CONRED declared an Institutional Orange Alert, and authorities ordered preventive evacuations in El Porvenir, Las Lajitas and nearby communities.

  • Powerful eruptions send giant boulders down the Fuego volcano, Guatemala

    ByHarsh Vardhan

    Powerful eruptions at Guatemala’s Fuego Volcano sent massive pyroclastic flows and a huge boulder down its slopes, forcing evacuations of nearby villages on June 5, 2025. The flows traveled as far as 7 km (4.3 miles), carrying thick ash clouds and volcanic debris. Officials have warned of the deadly risks from heat and toxic gases from the eruption.

  • Increased explosive activity, large pyroclastic flows at Fuego volcano, Guatemala

    ByHarsh Vardhan

    Fuego volcano in southern Guatemala began erupting on June 4, 2025, following weeks of increased activity. Explosions produced ash plumes reaching up to 4 800 m (15 750 feet) above sea level, and lava flows have impacted several nearby areas. Incandescent emissions, avalanches, and continued ashfall were reported, prompting heightened alerts and close monitoring. The activity continued into June 5, producing large pyroclastic flows and triggering the evacuation of nearby villages.
