HONOLULU—Lava fountains from a Hawaii volcano reached heights of 600 feet during the latest episode of an eruption that has been pausing and resuming for several months.

Fountains dropped in height to 250 feet to 300 feet on Tuesday night, according to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory. On Wednesday morning, a webcam still showed tall bursts of bright-red lava and billowing smoke.
