Smoke and ash shot into the air, and lava could be  seen pouring down the mountain. One man says he ran for his life when he saw the lava coming towards him. Local officials say there's no major damage and the eruption appears to have stopped. The government distributed 7,000 masks to refugees and set up public  kitchens so people can cook food, said Priyadi Kardono, spokesman for  the National Disaster Management Agency. Mount Sinabung is part of the Pacific ocean's "Ring of Fire," which has more than 100 active volcanoes.
