Smithfield Foods Inc. and its Patrick Cudahy unit said Friday that they would donate $50,000 to the Cudahy,Wis. fire department, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. The donation is in recognition of their “heroic efforts” in fighting a blaze that nearly consumed the plant over the July 4th weekend, 2009. The Cudahy Fire Department plans to use the funds to help pay for a mobile command post.Source: Meetingplace.com – Daily News, 3/22/11
