Mexico’s Fire Volcano erupts, hamlet evacuated
The national civil protection agency evacuates 19 Yerbabeuna hamlet residents

MEXICO CITY, Mexico – Western Mexico’s Volcano of Fire spewed a 4-kilometer column (2.5 miles) of ash and molten rock late Friday, July 10, prompting authorities to evacuate 19 people from a small village.

The volcano in Colima state, near Jalisco, has been active since Thursday but its eruptions intensified on Friday and ash rained down on at least 7 communities, according to federal authorities.

The national civil protection agency said the 19 residents of the hamlet of Yerbabuena would be taken to another community within the same municipality of Comala.

An unspecified number of people from other communities had already left the area on their own.

The government urged people to avoid any activities within 5 kilometers from the crater. – Rappler.com
