Overview
- A massive blaze destroyed Medline’s roughly 1‑million‑square‑foot Tracy distribution center last week and crews have now fully extinguished the fire.
- Incident command ended this week and the Tracy Fire Department formally turned control of the site back to Medline so demolition and hotspot monitoring can continue.
- Officials say a debris field of about six square miles scattered ash and material across nearby neighborhoods and they are conducting air and water tests with more results expected in the coming days.
- Cal/OSHA confirmed it opened an inspection of the facility on June 8 and has added the warehouse fire to that ongoing probe as local investigators examine cause and suppression system performance.
- Hundreds of residents have requested home cleanups, hazmat teams are offering assistance and Medline has activated contingency plans to reroute medical supplies while hospitals monitor orders for delays.
