Presumably the build up to this went unnoticed?

"The Fuego volcano, located about 50 kilometers (31 miles) south of
this capital, on Sunday spewed a column of ash up to a kilometer
(about 3,300 feet) high, a government agency reported.

The National Vulcanology Institute said in a communique that the
volcano, which rises 3,763 meters (12,230 feet) above sea level, on
Sunday erupted effusively, according to seismic recordings and the
images received from a camera at the observatory at Panimache.

The volcano's activity presently consists of emissions of red hot lava
being hurled from the crater to a height of some 500 meters (1,625
feet), the agency said.

The institute went on to say that three rivers of lava were emerging
from the crater and moving down the sides of the mountain.

In addition, two emissions of ash rising from 800 to 1,000 meters
(about 2,600 feet to 3,300 feet) were blowing southeast.

The vulcanology institute warned that although the eruption presently
consists of an effusion of lava, the possibility exists that in the
coming hours the volcano's activity will increase to a pyroclastic
flow of the kind experienced on May 19 and May 25."
