Overview

• Since June 4, Fuego has sent ash plumes up to 4,800 meters and produced lava flows exceeding one kilometer from the crater.
• On June 5 pyroclastic flows traveled as far as seven kilometers through the Las Lajas, Ceniza and Seca ravines, carrying dense ash and giant boulders.
• CONRED has moved over 700 residents from Chimaltenango, Escuintla and Sacatepequez into shelters as a precaution.
• Authorities have closed the main road to Antigua and suspended classes at 39 schools to shield communities from ashfall and debris.
• INSIVUMEH warns that unstable lava accumulations around the crater and ravines could collapse and spark new pyroclastic flows.
