Medline Warehouse Fire Disrupts Western U.S. Supply Chain, Affecting 960 Jobs

Summary
Nearly 1,000 Medline jobs were disrupted after a massive fire tore through the company’s Tracy, California, warehouse, leaving many of its roughly 960 employees off the job Friday.
The Tracy site was one of Medline’s major medical-supply distribution centers, and fire officials said the blaze will hit e-commerce and supply flows across the western United States.
Medline said it is still assessing the damage and is focused on supporting employees as the company works through the disruption.
Tracy’s broader logistics hub appeared largely intact: FedEx said its nearby warehouse was unaffected and deliveries stayed on schedule, while Amazon and Safeway also seemed to be operating normally.
Officials said it is still too early to gauge the fire’s longer-term economic impact on Tracy, an industrial zone packed with major distribution centers.
