Valley firms rebuild after devastating 1981 fire
Valley Fibrebath Ltd and Bigfoot Industries Ltd in Vernon BC rose from ashes after a 1981 blaze gutted their joint headquarters and moulds. They rebuilt with a small facility in 1982, took wage rollbacks, won government aid including a 200000 loan from the BC Development Corp, and expect 1982 sales to top 1981.
