Fuego erupted Monday morning. By nightfall Guatemala had issued its second-highest alert. This paper's Thursday dispatch recorded the orange order. Friday it still holds. [1]

AFP, in a Guardian filing, said lava and ash rose nearly four miles, and that rivers of lava ran down the 3,763-metre cone less than 100 kilometres from Guatemala City. [1]

Firefighters moved at least 350 residents of El Porvenir and Las Lajitas to San Juan Alotenango. Conred's Valeria Urizar told residents to self-evacuate if ordered. Classes stopped in two municipalities. A road toward Antigua closed. [1]

The institute said the eruption had run 23 hours by Tuesday morning as intensity eased. CNN said authorities still called the volcano dangerous after days of eruption. The 2018 blast killed 215 and left about as many missing. Monday's order is that memory, not a clip. [1][2] Lidia Ortiz told AFP she wanted another house because the volcano gives no warning. [1] Memory of 2018 is why the orange order still holds.

Sonia Vasquez said residents are used to constant activity, but this time it was really too much. The orange order is that memory, still in force on Friday. Spectacle is a clip. An alert is a truck on a village road.
