(FILE) A column of fire bursts from the crate of the Pacaya Volcano, some 50 km (31 miles) south of Guatemala City, March 1, 2000. Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom on May 28, 2010 has declared a state of emergency after a powerful eruption at the southern Pacaya volcano killed one person and forced the international airport to close. Ash blanketed the region as rocks and lava spewed from the volcano south of the capital, as Colom late Thursday issued the emergency decree lasting at least 15 days for the three departments nearest the eruption, which began Wednesday night and has since built in intensity.
