FYI:
Happened about 1/2 hr. ago in a residential area, evacuations started but many coming home from work are unaware that the fissure opened up in their neighborhood. Evacuation centers are starting to open up but many in the neighborhood are elderly and may not know the lava flow is heading toward their homes.
I'll update as needed.
edit - Emergency sirens in the area now being activated many returning from work are not able to access their homes to evacuate belongings.
