<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>About 4,000 of the nearly 5,500 evacuees were affected when authorities reduced the size of the evacuation zone.</p>
<p>The blaze had blackened more than 6.5 square miles of the rugged Santa Ynez Mountains, but most of that acreage was scorched in its first hours Monday.</p>

<p>Fire commanders described a fierce battle that saved homes as the blaze consumed brush in an area that had not burned for 29 years.</p>
<p>“We’ve had winds move up slope, down slope, across the slope,” Santa Barbara County fire battalion chief Anthony Stornetta said.</p>
<p>Helicopters dropped water on the fire during the night, and daylight allowed air tankers to drop long strips of fire retardant to box in the flames.</p>

<p>The fire began in Los Padres National Forest as winds gusted to 30 mph and higher.</p>
<p>Miryam Garcia, 21, and her mother, Norma Ramos, 47, fled their home as flames approached.</p>
