A large brush fire was burning out of control near Lake Elsinore, California Monday, forcing evacuations in nearby communities and prompting officials to close local roads.

It started Monday morning in the Cleveland National Forecast and had grown to over 600 hectares by the evening hours. 

An evacuation centre was set up at Lakeside High School in Lake Elsinore. 

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
