Firefighters prepare to make a stand as the sun sets over Rattlesnake Canyon near Santa Barbara, Calif., Thursday, May 7, 2009. The fire remained out of control and firefighters were on alert for a predicted return of the "Sundowner" fierce winds that late in the day can sweep down from the Santa Ynez Mountains towering close behind Santa Barbara.
