(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />Europe's highest active volcano, Mount Etna, sent streams of red hot lava into the night sky on Tuesday (March 5) as it continued a series of recent eruptions.<br/> <br />The activity was reported to have taken place at a height of around 2,900 metres at a new crater.<br/> <br />As lava streamed down the side of the volcano, experts said the local population was in no danger.<br/> <br />Hardened pieces of lava covered the roads in the area as the fragments cooled.<br/> <br />Etna, which is located above the Sicilian town of Catania, often erupts but rarely causes damage.<br/> <br />Whilst the eruptions themselves do not put the local population at risk, the local inhabitants have to live with the ash showers that follow the events.
