MEXICO CITY, Ramadan 24, 1436, July 11, 2015, SPA -- Ash and cinders spewing from the Colima Volcano in western Mexico have prompted authorities to evacuate 19 people from a nearby village, AP reported. The volcano began erupting on Thursday and has become increasingly active, leading officials to relocate people from the community of Yerbabuena in the municipality of Comala. Civil Protection officials said Saturday the residents were taken to a temporary shelter. Residents of other communities were evacuating voluntarily. They added that 2 inches (5 centimeters) of ash had fallen on Yerbabuena. The Colima Volcano, which sits near the border of the western states of Colima and Jalisco, is also known as the Volcano of Fire. --SPA 22:29 LOCAL TIME 19:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
