IC reports fire is 60-70 acres, no structures currently involved but they are still imminently threatened. T82, T83 & Copter 404 assigned from Columbia + AA from Fresno.
AA requesting a large air tanker out of Fresno, for a total of 3 tankers, fire is still spotting.
IC reports fire is now 100 acres, slow-moderate ROS, still have some spotting issues. All tankers on a load & return
Now 150 acres and still having spotting issues.
Looking like the wind is becoming a factor now. They requested a few more engines and a dozer incase it jumps the river.

Relief air attack is over the fire now.
New fire in TCU pulling tankers from this incident
AA is going to drop Tanker 167, and then release him. 2 tankers were diverted to the fire in TCU.
sounds like they are wrapping things up.
