The fire prompted evacuations at several nearby buildings in the heavily industrial area.<\/p>\n<p>The fire was first reported by someone at a nearby FedEx facility, though that building appeared to remain untouched by the flames by mid-Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>The Medline building, used as a distribution center for the medical supply company, was largely destroyed, Heefner said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=1908\">Horoscopes June 12, 2026: Timothy Simons, your thirst for knowledge will help you<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In an update posted to its website, the city of Tracy said firefighters arrived to find a rapidly developing fire involving the roof of the Medline building. Early suppression efforts, the city noted, were hampered by a failure of the building\u2019s private fire protection system, which \u201csignificantly impacted initial firefighting operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombined with high winds, low humidity and elevated temperatures, the fire quickly extended from the roof into the interior of the facility,\u201d the city said in the update.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As the fire raged, embers drifted to the south and ignited several spot fires, the city said. They included large pallet storage areas and several trailers near the FedEx facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMutual aid resources were quickly deployed to these locations and successfully contained the fires, preventing further spread,\u201d the city said.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighters from multiple agencies responded, including the San Joaquin Fire Authority, the Lathrop Manteca and Contra Costa County fire protection districts, and the Stockton, Manteca and Mountain House fire departments.
