Crews announced Sunday evening that the Canyon Crest Fire has been fully contained at 254 acres.

The fire, which scorched parts of Riverside County bordering San Bernardino County, prompted evacuation warnings when it broke out around 5:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving.

According to CAL FIRE, the fire started near Canyon Crest Drive and Weeping Willow Lane in the Fontana area by the San Bernardino Fire Department.

San Bernardino County Fire first reported crews were on the scene of a 100-by-100-foot spot fire running uphill.

The department soon upgraded the fire from 2nd to 3rd alarm after the flames grew to about 10 acres with a moderate rate of speed. Within the next three hours, the fire grew to about 85 acres and was 0% contained.

Evacuation warnings were issued for the area of the Moreno Valley (60) Freeway east of Country Village Road, south of the county line and west of Sierra Avenue, according to officials.

“The evacuation warning was lifted shortly after noon Friday, and an evacuation center that had been established at Jurupa Valley High School was closed,” stated a Riverside County Fire Department press release.

Although no structures were reported damaged in this fire, the flames burned near several homes on Thursday evening.

“Crews made steady progress over the weekend,” said Riverside County Fire. “The fire was mapped at 284 acres and 50% contained at 8 a.m. Saturday, but was revised to 254 acres on Sunday.”

By 7 p.m. Sunday, the fire department confirmed that the Canyon Crest Fire had been 100% contained.

No injuries were reported, and CAL FIRE says the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A Compton family is mourning the loss of a 9-year-old boy whose loved ones say he was shot and killed on Saturday evening.

At a Sunday evening vigil, family members say Princeton Jones was playing outside his grandfather’s home located at the intersection of Haskins Avenue and Alondra Boulevard when he was shot around 7:40 p.m.

Details are limited, officials have not released or confirmed any information on the case, but the boy’s family says they are searching for answers as the investigation continues.

“We don’t know any information,” said Najee Ali, director of Project of Islamic Hope, at the Sunday evening vigil. “But what we do know, was that he was a 9-year-old innocent child who never should’ve been shot down in cold blood.” 

Police did not immediately say if there were any leads on a suspect, a suspect vehicle, or whether this incident was believed to be gang-related.

“There used to be a time where women and children were off limits to murder and gang violence,” Ali told KTLA’s Carlos Saucedo. “Unfortunately, those days are long gone.”

Community members and Princeton’s family were rallying on Sunday night during the vigil, calling for an end to gun violence and saying no child should ever be a target.

“Born in 2015, Princeton was a truly special young man with a brilliant mind and a warm heart,” states the boy’s family members in a GoFundMe page description. “Diagnosed with mild autism at the age of 2, Princeton worked tirelessly with the loving support of his mother and began speaking fluently by the age of 5.”

Family members say they set up the GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses and to ensure that “Princeton is honored and remembered in a way that reflects the love and joy he brought into this world.”
