Summary
By 3 p.m., flames had completely engulfed Medline's distribution center on Promontory Parkway in Tracy after the fire broke out around 1 p.m.
Police and the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority expanded evacuations to nearby distribution buildings as multiple spot fires emerged and the blaze threatened a second warehouse.
Officials said the cause was still unclear, and the latest report did not confirm any injuries; at 2:45 p.m., authorities said there was no threat to residents.
Dark smoke was visible from about 7 miles away, and departments from Stockton, Mountain House, Lathrop-Manteca and Alameda County joined the response around the logistics hub near FedEx, Best Buy and Amazon facilities.
