Cudahy Police report that arrests have been made in connection with a fire in a vacant tannery. No details about the arrests are available, but a news release is expected to be issued later today. Firefighters in Cudahy arrived to smoke pouring out of a vacant building at E Edgerton Avenue and S Packard Avenue around 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The building was in the old Cudahy Tanning building. The old tannery building has been vacant for 10 years. Battalion Chief Robert Schmidt says the fire was easy to fight. Because the building was vacant, there was not a lot inside that could burn. Smoke was a problem for crews. They used axes to break windows so they could see.
