About 20,000 residents are under mandatory evacuation orders as a
Southern California fire -- which authorities say was set intentionally
-- spread this week.
The Holy Fire started Monday in the Cleveland National Forest and has so far destroyed 12 structures, according to fire authorities.
A man has been arrested in connection with the fire that is wreaking havoc near the border between Orange and Riverside counties, which are among the most populous counties in California.
The Holy Fire has burned 6,200 acres and is 5% contained.
Although it's not the largest fire burning in the state, there are growing concerns about how it could affect residential communities -- including Lake Elsinore. Some small communities in Riverside County are under mandatory evacuation orders affecting about 7,000 residential structures, according to authorities.
