Watch | Mexico’s fire volcano erupts, spews ash 8,200 ft high

Mexico's Colima or “Fire” volcano spewed a large column of gas and ash high into a blue sky on Saturday.

The ash cloud reportedly shot more than 8,200 feet into the air - as high as nine Eiffel Towers lined up vertically.

Located in the southwestern Mexican state of Colima, the Fire Volcano has been bursting to life since July 9 last year including three eruptions on New Year's Eve.

The Fire Volcano, officially known as the Colima Volcano, is part of the Pacific's Ring of Fire.

Mexico contains over 3,000 volcanoes, but only 14 are considered active.
