Patrick Cudahy Fire

More than 200 photos of the largest structure fire in Wisconsin history, which began on July 5, 2009 and raged for two days.  The fire at the Patrick Cudahy meatpacking plant was sparked by a military flare launched onto the roof of the 121-year-old building.  It forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes and drained Cudahy's water supply.
