Guatemala's National Bureau of Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Meteorology and Hydrology announced on the 5th that the Fuego volcano has calmed down after 50 hours of continuous eruption. More than 1,700 residents who had previously been evacuated have been allowed to return home. Volcano Fuego began erupting in the early morning of the 3rd. Lava poured down the hillside, and the eruption column formed by volcanic ash, debris, and hot gas was thousands of meters high. Guatemala's National Disaster Reduction Coordinating Committee sounded the highest level of warning in the three provinces surrounding the volcano on the 4th. The committee warned on the 5th that since the situation is safe, people who have been asked to evacuate can return to their homes, but they still need to be alert because the volcano could erupt again at any time.
