The Holy Fire was a wildfire that burned in the Cleveland National Forest in Orange and Riverside Counties, California.

[8][9] A suspected arsonist was booked into the Orange County jail in Santa Ana, California[10] but found not guilty in 2023.

[1][11] While the fire was actively spreading in early and mid-August, residents of the nearby cities of Corona, Temescal Valley, and Lake Elsinore were placed under evacuation orders.

It quickly moved uphill in a northeast direction, jumping the crest of the Santa Ana Mountains into neighboring Riverside County, threatening the areas of Corona, El Cerrito, and Glen Ivy Hot Springs.

[24] On August 17, when he appeared for the second time, which was the third attempt for his court hearing, Clark’s erratic behavior caused a judge to stop the normal proceedings.

On November 28, 2018, Clark was ruled competent to assist attorneys in his defense, and the resisting arrest charges were subsequently dropped.
