**Toddler's Near-Disaster at Kilauea Volcano Sparks Safety Concerns in Hawaii**

**Authorities urge tourists to heed warnings after alarming incident during volcanic eruption.**


**A young boy's near-fall into the Kilauea volcano has prompted park officials to emphasize the importance of safety measures for visitors.**

In a shocking incident on Christmas Day, a toddler nearly plunged off the edge of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii, prompting the National Park Service to issue urgent warnings to visitors. The young boy escaped serious harm after his mother intervened just in time, pulling him back from the brink of a 400-foot cliff. This shocking moment was witnessed by park ranger Jessica Ferracane, who expressed hope that sharing this event could help avert future tragedies.

The Kilauea volcano, located on Hawaii's Big Island, is among the most active volcanoes globally, having seen ongoing eruptions since December 23rd. The incident occurred in a restricted area of the park where families had gathered to enjoy the view of the lava, a space deemed hazardous by officials. The park cautioned that the child would not have survived a fall from the perilous height.

Park rangers reiterated the critical importance of observing safety guidelines—urging visitors to remain on designated trails, respect closure signs, and closely supervise children. “Those who disregard these warnings risk their lives and the lives of their loved ones,” Ms. Ferracane commented.

The alarming episode reinforces the need for heightened safety awareness in areas surrounding active natural features like Kilauea, with officials eager to ensure the safety of all visitors.
