Fire ripped through a Carrollton plastics plant Thursday night. There were no apparent injuries in the fire, which happened at the Superior Recreational Products plant on Columbia Drive, but the 80,000 square-foot building appeared to be a total loss, according to Carrollton Fire Department Battalion Chief Allen English. Firefighters were called to the plant around 8:30 p.m. Thursday night, English said. By the time they arrived, the building was fully engulfed. Between 80 and 100 firefighters were able to contain the blaze to the building. English said the business manufactures plastic playground and recreation equipment.
