Lava released from a volcano can trigger fires and cover roads, pyroclastic flows can destroy forests, kill plants/animals, ash fall can bury areas like a large snowfall that won't melt, ash can also cause planes to crash if it gets in jet engines and disrupt passenger travel (they usually ground planes when there is an ash eruption in the area.) Poisonous fumes and acidic water can be released from vents which can kill or injure plants/animals. Mudflows (lahars) can result from the rapid melting of ice at the top of a volcano and this can cause serious damage and death to places down slope. Volcanos can trigger shallow earthquakes that can result in damage to infrastructure of course. Pieces of volcanic rock ejected from volcanoes (tephra and pyroclasts) can kill or injure people since they are projectiles.
