The Aporia · Fuego volcano in Guatemala spews more ash and mud, 1,700 evacuated

The Fuego volcano in Guatemala has erupted again, spewing ash and mud after earlier eruptions this week, with approximately 1,700 people still in shelters due to evacuations ordered by the government. Conred's executive director, Claudinne Ogaldes, advises residents in three affected municipalities to take precautions such as covering water deposits and wearing face masks. The disaster agency has raised the alert level to red for these areas, where about 29,000 people are impacted by ashfall. Mudflows have reached lengths of up to 7km and officials warn that incoming rain will increase the risk of further mudflows in the next 72 hours.

Story summary

The Fuego volcano, located in Guatemala between the regions of Escuintla, Chimaltenango, and Sacatepéquez, erupted on Monday, prompting authorities to declare an "orange alert" and evacuate approximately 1,700 people from nearby communities. The evacuees were taken to temporary shelters in Alotenango and Escuintla city. Emergency services urged residents to leave their homes for safety, citing the risk of ash fall and further volcanic activity. In 2018, a violent eruption of the Fuego volcano left hundreds dead. Authorities have raised the alert level to "red" for three municipalities, where about 29,000 people are affected by ashfall. The next 72 hours will be critical, officials say. While the activity at the volcano has gradually decreased on Wednesday, authorities remain on high alert and urge residents to remain cautious.
