Tanker 134 has been added to the response and I believe one more type 1 tanker is also enroute.
100 acres.
Fire is now 100 acres per a conversation on another feed near the fire. 2 additional LATs en-route (T134 from McClellan + T101 from Porterville)
Per the IC - “Couple hundred acres with spots all over the valley”
