Caught a few clips on the news but some of those pictures are a bit more revealing.

News reporting one poor sod has been injured by splatter, shattered lower leg or something.

Edit.
Wowzers, someone suggest the fire department use the hoses to prevent one stream. I know the people on Iceland did something similar in the 70s (?) but that was not using fire trucks.

I was following the map on the USGS for the volcano, these fissures appear to have opened on old ones and there are communities all around it.

The one from 1955

Edit. all this seems to be some 40 miles from Kīlauea.

Keep getting facebook links on twitter to those, most annoying when you want to post them on.
Did not think to check youtube.
