Watch: Lava sets house ablaze in Hawaii town

A stream of lava set a home on fire in a rural Hawaii town that has been watching the slow-moving flow approach for months. The hot molten rock hit the house just before noon and burned it down. The home's renters had already left the residence in Pahoa, the largest town in Big Island.The lava from Kilauea volcano emerged from a vent in June and entered Pahoa Oct. 26, when it crossed a country road at the edge of town. Since then, it has smothered part of a cemetery and burned down a garden shed.
