Buildings burn as La Palma volcano eruption continues

Flames engulfed buildings and a dog was seen running away from the lava flow, Reuters video showed.

Lava from the volcano has covered neary 800 hectares (2,000) acres of land, destroying 2,000 buildings and many banana plantations since the eruption started on September 19.

More than 6,000 people have had to leave their homes.
