Guatemala's president issues natural disaster declaration as fires continue to rage across country
Mountains of garbage continue to burn at a landfill in Villa Nueva outside Guatemala's capital. The fire is one of more than 40 that continue to burn across the Central American country. President Bernardo Arévalo has issued a natural disaster declaration to free up funding for fire fighting efforts and said that 80% of the fires were started by people. Authorities have canceled classes across three central provinces to protect students from the prevailing smoke.
