TRACY, Calif. (KGO) — A massive fire at a Tracy warehouse complex was burning out of control Thursday afternoon and sending a huge plume of black smoke into the air.<\/p>\n
The fire broke out at a little before 1 p.m. at the Medline Distribution Center, a medical supply warehouse in the 5700 block of Promontory Parkway just south of Interstate Highway 205 and west of the downtown area, according to Tracy Police Department spokesperson Kaylin Heefner.<\/p>\n
So far, no injuries have been reported, but the roughly 1 million square foot warehouse is fully engulfed in flames, according to the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority.<\/p>\n

Jamie Holt, with the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District, spoke about how the smoke from the Medline facility fire in Tracy may impact the air quality.<\/p>\n
Jamie Holt, with the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District, spoke with ABC7 Eyewitness about how the smoke from the Medline facility fire in Tracy may impact the air quality.<\/p>\n
Holt said the air quality in the area still considered good but does recommend those considered “sensitive” and “at-risk” to take precautions as the evening hours approach, such as turning on air purifiers and\/or HVAC units, closing windows and wearing an N95 mask if you can smell smoke.<\/p>\n
She said the air district did not consider any of the supplies in the burning warehouse to be toxic to the air quality.<\/p>\n
After the fire is put out, Holt said residents should see improved air quality. While smoke will dissipate, she did say it will start to travel south of Tracy due to the winds, and may hit some communities in that direction.<\/p>\n
