Canary Islands: Firefighters retreat as volcano intensifies
[Firefighters on the Spanish Island
of La Palma have retreated due to
intensifying volcanic explosions.
The Cumbre Vieja volcano started erupting
on Sunday with thousands evacuated
and more than 350 homes destroyed.
On Friday, authorities in three more towns
told residents to evacuate.
A thick plume of smoke now extends
four kilometres (2.4 miles) into the
air with a number of flights in and out
of the airport cancelled.
No fatalities have been reported.]
