The Thompson Tower controller is a character featured in City of Fire.
After a fire broke out in the tower's basement, he ordered his assistant to shut all the corridors to prevent it from spreading, hoping to contain it. Little did he know that by doing this, he trapped Joe, Blanche and Tommy Carter in the burning building. By the time he and his assistant discovered this, it was too late for them or the fire brigade to save the family, and so they called International Rescue.
