The fire broke out at the Medline Industries warehouse on Promontory Parkway around 1 p.m. Thursday. The fire continued to burn through the night and into Friday morning, when Tracy's fire chief said it could take days for crews to fully extinguish it.
The Valley Air District said Friday afternoon that smoke moved over the valley overnight and mixed down towards the surface of the northern and central counties of the San Joaquin Valley. Smoke coming from the fire will continue to push south along the western part of the valley.
"If you can see ash, smell smoke, you may be affected by fine particulate matter pollution," the Valley Air District said in an update Friday.
The air quality is expected to be impacted until the fire is extinguished, but it's unclear when that will be.
The area quality in Modesto and Madera has fluctuated between good and moderate through Friday morning and early afternoon.
"The best thing for the community is to kind of stay sheltered," Bagley said. "Stay away from the outdoors, especially if you're in and around the immediate Tracy area."
A hazardous materials team was reviewing a list of what was stored in the warehouse.
