Firefighters in Santa Clara County responded to a vegetation fire south of the city of San Jose on Sunday afternoon.
Hospitals across the Bay Area are closely monitoring supplies after a fire tore through the Medline medical supply distribution facility in Tracy last Thursday, raising concerns about causing disruptions and delays.
Cleanup efforts continue at the Medline warehouse site in Tracy after a massive fire last week destroyed the 1-million-square-foot facility, leaving widespread debris and damage throughout the area. Officials released a list of chemicals stored at the facility, warning that ash and debris may contain hazardous materials, including metals and other fine particles that could be harmful if inhaled or touched without proper precautions.
A massive fire that destroyed a medical distribution facility in Tracy has left about 1,000 employees out of work and raised concerns about the supply of critical medical goods, as officials and companies work to limit ongoing impacts.
Trace fire says the blaze started at around 1 p.m. at the Medline Industries warehouse, before spreading to a FedEx building across the way. Officials say all employees are evacuated as of 4 p.m.
