A REKINDLE HAS FLARED UP AT THE PATRICK CUDAHY packing plant Saturday afternoon. The alarm was sounded promptly by workers at the scene of the massive 3-day fire that was extinguished on Wednesday. The fire officer in charge has elevated this fire to three alarms. The fire chief says that no evacuations are planned because there is no chemical hazard and this blaze is not expected to spread.

Workers in the complex heard a crashing sound at 11 am Central this morning and then witnessed a lot of smoke suddenly coming from the 4-story section that had already partially collapsed during the fire. The fire chief believes that this event was caused by another collapse that re-settled some hot spots and triggered the new blaze.
They expect to be working this fire until late this afternoon. Firegeezer will update when we get more information.
