Инспекция выявила нарушения безопасности в складе Medline за две недели до крупного пожара в Трейси

Запись инспекции от 26 мая показала, что на складе медицинских поставок Medline в Трейси были выявлены серьезные нарушения, включая отсутствие знаков эвакуации и неисправную систему пожаротушения, за 16 дней до масштабного возгорания. Несмотря на то, что предыдущая проверка в ноябре подтвердила исправность оборудования, пожарная служба пока не предоставила отчет о том, были ли устранены выявленные проблемы перед катастрофой.

Inspection found safety issues weeks before Tracy Warehouse Fire Inspection records obtained by KCRA 3 Investigates reveal that the Tracy medical supply warehouse that burned in June had safety violations just weeks before the massive fire. The South San Joaquin Fire Authority inspected the Medline facility on May 26, 16 days before the blaze, and found several issues requiring correction. The inspection lasted 30 minutes and noted that "high piled storage was not passed, exit signs were not in place, and signage on the racks was missing." The report stated that the facility would call back for a final inspection once the issues were addressed, with the next scheduled inspection set for November 2026. Video footage from inside the warehouse showed the fire starting at the top of a storage rack. The Fire Chief reported during the multi-day firefight that the fire suppression system did not work. The fire, located in an industrial area of Tracy, took days to battle, threatened nearby warehouses, caused dangerous smoke that led to health alerts, and scattered debris into surrounding neighborhoods. A previous inspection of the warehouse on November 10, 2025, lasted for more than an hour and found no issues. That report included photos showing a functioning fire suppression system, with a control panel, signed seals, and a green tag with signatures indicating approval. At the time of the fire, investigators said Medline was required to hire a third-party company to inspect its fire suppression system. Through a California Public Records Act Request, KCRA 3 Investigates requested those inspection reports from the fire department in June but has not yet received them. The fire department told KCRA 3 Investigates it is working to finalize an incident report, stating, "We have obtained an investigator to assist with sorting through the facts and finalizing the report, although we do not have an anticipated completion date for the report." KCRA 3 Investigates asked the fire department to clarify whether the issues identified in the May inspection were ever resolved. The agency did not respond. Medline was contacted by KCRA 3 with similar questions, but the company has yet to provide a response.
