Parkway, Tracy, fire, traffic, emergency

A large warehouse fire broke out on the outskirts of Tracy on Thursday, June 11, 2026, at a Medline facility, described as the largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of medical supplies. Fire crews are on the scene battling the blaze, which has prompted road closures and evacuations.

The Tracy Police Department advises the public to avoid the area and use alternate routes if possible. Promontory Parkway will be closed while fire crews work to contain the fire and ensure the area is safe.

Officers are on scene assisting with evacuations and directing traffic. Motorists should expect significant delays.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, and no injuries have been reported at this time. Medline is a major supplier of medical products to hospitals and healthcare facilities across the country, and the fire could impact supply chains.

The facility is located in an industrial area near the intersection of Promontory Parkway and I-205. Firefighters from multiple agencies are responding, including the Tracy Fire Department and San Joaquin County units.

The fire is producing a large plume of smoke visible for miles, and residents are advised to keep windows closed and stay indoors if smoke drifts into their neighborhoods. The extent of the damage is not yet known, but the fire is expected to burn for several hours.

Authorities are urging the public to stay away from the area to allow emergency crews to work safely.
