Patrick Cudahy Fire


Just want to make a couple comments on the fire at the Patrick Cudahy plant in Cudahy.

Our prayers go out to the company and all the people who work for Patrick Cudahy. For 120 years they have produced Wisconsin's great tasting products that made you proud to be from Wisconsin.

From JSOnline
"Cudahy - Mayor Ryan McCue said a state of emergency has been declared as fire officials continue to battle a blaze at the Patrick Cudahy meatpacking plant.

Fire Chief Dan Mayer said ammonia in the plant that has caused concern throughout the day appears to be contained.

"We believe that's safe now inside," Mayer said. "From the ammonia standpoint, I'm cautiously optimistic that we have crossed the dangerous period.""

Our prayers also go out to the fire fighters and all the people battling the blaze and hope no one will be injured from this disaster.

I speak from being a former employee and look forward to the company getting through this hardship. Everyone involved with Patrick Cudahy were all professional and made everyone feel like family. What a group of GREAT people and GREAT products. This is only a set back and hope the future will be once again bright for all the people at Patrick Cudahy.
