TOPSHOT - The Fuego volcano erupting is pictured from Alotenango, Sacatepequez department, some 65 kilometers southwest of Guatemala City on March 1, 2026. On February 28, 2026, Guatemalan authorities warned the population about the danger of “explosive activity” from the "Fuego" and "Santiaguito" volcanoes, which are among the most active in the country. In response to the volcanic activity, authorities from the National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (Conred) in the department of Sacatepequez declared an orange alert on February 26, which “activates response plans” and leads to “intensified monitoring.” This is followed by a red alert.
