Hundreds of people had to be evacuated from towns and villages near Mexico's 'Volcano of Fire' in Colima, amid fears of a major eruption early Sunday morning. Ash covered the streets and even people, as residents queued to board vehicles driving them to safety. Authorities ordered the evacuation after the volcanic activity began to increase on Thursday. The nearby airport had to be closed and a safety zone of 12km (7.5 mile) has been created in the surrounding area. According to the Interior Ministry the volcanic activity resembles the conditions of 1913, when the last major eruption took place. However, at this stage authorities have not ruled out the possibility of the volcanic activity waning over the coming weeks.
