A fire at a medical equipment warehouse in northern California prompts evacuations of nearby facilities as firefighters work to control the blaze. Multiple outlets report that thick black smoke rises over the area, with the flames visible from surrounding locations, and that the fire spreads within a warehouse complex. The Guardian reports the incident occurs in Tracy, where a medical equipment warehouse is destroyed, describing the warehouse complex as roughly 1 million square feet. Other facilities near the site are evacuated as a precaution while crews respond. Authorities say no injuries are reported. One outlet notes that company representatives say everyone at the site at the time of the fire has been accounted for. Investigators are still unclear about the cause, and the incident remains under investigation. The evacuations are focused on nearby warehouses and facilities rather than the wider community, according to the reports. Fire crews continue efforts to bring the fire under control while investigators assess what triggered the fire.
