Hot ash and gas come out of the mountain , causing a lightning storm as it rose into the air . White ash , along with steam and thick mud , continue to pour from the giant crater left by the explosion. At each state of this dramatic eruption people have been killed . The explosion caused the first casualties ; several people were injured or died due to the force and heat of it. Then the hot ash started fires which have burned vast areas of forest , causing more deaths . Fortunately , fire fighters have managed to put most of them out .
