Damage grows as Canary Island lava flows, firefighters retreat

The flow of lava from a volcano on the Canary Islands has slowed but there is fear it could still cause more damage, prompting further evacuation orders for another three towns.
Even firefighters are now being told to retreat from certain areas due to worsening conditions.
The volcano on La Palma island erupted six days ago.
Hundreds of homes have since been destroyed.
Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports from the village of Tazacorte.

The island wouldn’t exist without the volcanic activity. It is tragic for the residents but life will return.

Get ready for a mega Tsunami coming to America and Florida

I mean this volcano erupts every now and then. If you build a building near the volcano deal with the risks

It is the volcano that created this beautiful island - and isn’t it ironic how the valcano is destructing it. As the island burns out May Allah almighty give the residents peace and a sense of belonging somewhere else.

Iceland built dirt mounds to direct the lava, perhaps they could do something like that to keep it out of the city 🙏

This is nature doing nature, unfortunately it has to remind us whose boss. Hope they evacuate soon.

Mother earth is about to reclaim her Island. Still don't understand why people build in places like this.
