A 250-acre fire started early this morning near the Fontana/Rancho border, where staff photographer Will Lester took this photo.

Etiwanda Colony Elementary and Summit Intermediate schools were canceled today and others in the Etiwanda School District are moving outdoor activities inside.

The blaze, dubbed the Foxborough Fire, is in the Hunters Ridge area along the San Sevaine wash. So far, no homes are under serious threat and there have been no mandatory evacuations. The Central Park Senior Center today is prepared to be an evacuation center if the fire intensifies. So far, the facility has remained empty.

The Grand Prix Fire started on Oct. 23, 2003 and burned 59,000 acres.
