Tracy, California

6/12/26 Friday, 1359 PDT

Update on yesterday’s fire. Trends work by firefighters.

Update - Promontory Fire - 9:30 am

Progress on the Promontory Fire remains steady.
Firefighters continue suppression efforts at the Medline warehouse, and the fire is currently contained to that facility. The nearby FedEx facility sustained damage to the exterior of the building; however, crews were successful in protecting the structure, and it is considered stable at this time.

Fire crews will remain on scene throughout the day and night to monitor and extinguish hotspots. Tracy Fire personnel are rotating back to their stations, while mutual aid agencies will continue to provide city coverage and rotate resources through the Promontory Fire incident.

Several air monitoring stations have been established in and around the incident area. Continuous air monitoring is occurring and based on that data, no protective actions are required at this time. However, sensitive groups—including children, older adults, and those with respiratory conditions—are encouraged to remain indoors and avoid exposure to smoke whenever possible.

Our primary concern remains ember cast from the Medline facility. Crews will continue monitoring the area and quickly address any spot fires that may develop.

The incident area remains closed to the public. Access is restricted to emergency personnel only. Please avoid the area to allow emergency responders to work safely and efficiently.

We appreciate the continued support and cooperation from our community.
