A fire at Thompson Maple Products Co. on East Washington Street caused dense smoke and activated sprinklers. Firemen, aided by 18 volunteers, fought the blaze for about 90 minutes, laying 1350 feet of hose. Owner Nelson Thompson said damage was negligible, with only cleanup and replacement of sprinkler heads and windows. The plant, recently restarted after a year idle, shifted from bowling pins to bat blanks and is exploring new product lines.
