VENTURA, California (AP) --

Pushed by fierce Santa Ana winds, a wildfire near Los Angeles tripled to nearly 1,500 acres Friday and crept toward large, ridgetop homes

where residents were told to stand by for possible evacuation.

The blaze was reported around 3:30 a.m. in the School Canyon area between Ventura and Ojai, about 60 miles

northwest of Los Angeles, fire officials said.

At midmorning, a wall

of flames as high as 30 feet snaked along hillsides and thick, black smoke

hovered over homes.

" It's right in their back yard, " Luna said. " We have a lot

of crews up there and are making every effort to protect those

structures. "

In just a few hours, the fire grew from 500 acres to 1,487

acres, said fire department spokeswoman Michele Faina.
