Guatemala's Fuego has ejected dangerous pyroclastic flows over the past week, which kill everything in their path as they travel so fast and so far.
Dangerous flows of lava and toxic gases spewed down several canyons below the crater of the volcano yesterday.
In two of the canyons where flows have accumulated, columns of ash went as high as 19,700 feet.
This resulted in further evacuations of rescue workers and nearby villages.
