The volcano is one of Guatemala's top tourist attractions, and normally just gives off a lil bit of smoke.
Thursday's eruptions though were filled with thick clouds of ash and rivers of lava.
No towns or villages are expected to actually be threatened by the eruption, but government officials worried about people surviving the poisonous gasses that the volcano was also giving off.
Flights in the area are being redirected away from the ash and gasses as a precaution, especially to the south and south east.
