A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of starting the Lizzie Fire in San Luis Obispo.
The fire broke out at around 2:45 p.m. on Monday in a hillside area just above San Luis Obispo High School.
As of Tuesday evening, the fire had burned 100 acres and was 80% contained.
According to the San Luis Obispo Police Department, two juveniles were identified on surveillance footage from San Luis Obispo High School leaving the area where the fire is believed to have started.
