Fire officials are anxious to see the video shot by two men at the scene of the massive blaze.

ANDERSON, S.C. --

The Anderson fire chief said that investigators want to talk to two men who were caught on camera videotaping the fire at the Old Anderson Mill to see if they can provide clues to what or who started the fire.

Fire investigators plan to enter the structure Thursday morning to start investigating what started the blaze.

In the meantime, they are asking for the publics help to identify the two men.

Chief Jack Abraham said that the video recorded by the men could be beneficial to the investigation. Abraham said that the men are not suspects or even people of interest. Investigators said that they simply would like to look at the video.

Investigators told WYFF News 4 that neighbors saw teenagers leaving the mill just before the fire started last Friday.

At one point, flames shot up nearly 50 feet as the building was totally destroyed by fire. It's the second time the Old Anderson Mill burned. Firefighters said debris left over from the first fire in 1995 fueled last week's fire.

The fire is contained, but firefighters are continuing to check for flare ups.

Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call 231-2259.
