A wildfire that erupted Tuesday afternoon in the San Diego County community of Lakeside was threatening structures, prompting mandatory evacuations.

The fire, in the eastern part of the county, was spreading at a moderate rate and had charred 200 acres by about 4 p.m., according to fire officials.

Officials issued evacuation orders in a rural area of the unincorporated community in the El Monte Valley, near the base of El Capitan Mountain. The area includes horse ranches and lies just south of the riverbed of the San Diego River.

The Monte fire was reported to have started just north of El Monte County Park.

A temporary evacuation point was established at the Walmart Supercenter at 13487 Camino Canada in El Cajon, the San Diego County Sheriffs Office said.
