Guatemalan authorities evacuated about 250 residents and closed a road as Central America's most active volcano, Fuego, erupted on Thursday. The ash column ejected by Fuego reached more than 6,000 meters (around 19,600 feet) above sea level. Guatemala's disaster agency said the volcano had been emitting ash clouds that could affect as many as 100,000 people in communities around the peak.
