San Joaquin Valley Air District Says Tracy Air Stays Good After Warehouse Fire, Advises N95 Precautions

Summary
Tracy's air quality remains rated good after the Medline warehouse fire, though the San Joaquin Valley Air District urged sensitive and at-risk residents to take precautions by evening.
N95 masks, closed windows, and running air purifiers or HVAC systems are recommended if smoke is noticeable, even as the district said the warehouse contents are not considered toxic to air quality.
Smoke is expected to drift south of Tracy with the wind and could affect communities in that direction before conditions improve once the fire is extinguished.
The guidance suggests the main risk is short-term smoke exposure rather than hazardous chemicals, with broader air impacts still limited for now.
