Summary
Several semi trucks left Medline’s Tracy facility Friday morning with medical supplies, the first movement in or out since the fire destroyed the distribution center.
The blaze wiped out the building and its contents, disrupting a hub that serves Northern California, including Sutter Health in the Bay Area.
Sutter said it is monitoring the situation and has contingency plans, adding that it does not expect broad impacts to medical supply distribution for now.
About 1,000 employees remain affected, with some potentially reassigned to nearby centers while staffing agencies and local officials offer job-placement resources.
Tracy officials are also managing public-safety and air-quality concerns with state regulators as the fallout from one of the largest U.S. warehouse fires continues.
