PUBLISHED: | UPDATED:

A fire investigation team from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will assist with the investigation into the cause of a fire that decimated that Windsor Mill early Sunday morning, according to a news release from ATF.

The mill, at 307 Main St., which was damaged in the 2008 tornado that hit Windsor, was again damaged when a fire started shortly before 2 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 6.

About 20 National Response Team members were asked by Windsor Severance Fire Rescue to help determine the cause of the blaze, and began on-site work Tuesday morning, according to the release.

The mill was going through extensive renovation, lead by Blue Ocean, Inc. The business has said it remains committed to the project, and will continue to consider options as more information becomes available.

According to the ATF, the investigation, in which the Windsor Police Department will also be assisting, will include sifting through debris, reconstructing the scene, collecting evidence, and conducting interviews.
