A growing brush fire prompted officials to issue evacuation warnings Thursday evening to parts of Fontana, a suburb straddling San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The Canyon Crest fire began as a 100-by-100 foot patch of burning brush in the area of Canyon Crest Drive and Weeping Willow Lane in Fontana,
