Not possible. It is a stratovolcano. They do explosions no matter what, not lava flows.

Stratovolcanoes do have lava flows. Otherwise, it would be a cinder cone.

From CVO Glossary:
Some of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes -- sometimes called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases.
