The Brief
- Excavation crews have been called to the Medline warehouse in Tracy that burst into flames on Thursday.
- The crews will demolish parts of the exterior wall, so firefighters can access hotspots more easily.
OAKLAND, Calif. – The Tracy Medline fire has been almost entirely put out but with some parts of the warehouse facility still smoldering, responders, in coordination with Medline representatives, have begun taking steps to fully extinguish the flames.
An excavation company has been called to the site of the fire to remove portions of the exterior wall of the Medline facility. Doing so will provide firefighters with better access to the facility, to address remaining hotspots and smoldering areas of the building.
Road closures remain in effect, and there is no public access to the facility as of Sunday afternoon.…
