The measure was taken in the wake of the last massive fire at the Sustainable Management Authority of Lake Amatitlán (AMSA) landfill 22 kilometers from Guatemala City, which generated large flames and powerful smoke columns.

God this sounds like a nightmare. Landfill fire. Horrifying shit

The state of Calamity will be in force for 30 days in the departments (provinces) of Escuintla, Guatemala and Petén, where the highest number of fires has occurred.

Due to the emergency, Guatemala has suspended classes in schools in the metropolitan area of the country since last Monday.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
