MANAYUNK (WPVI) -- Philadelphia firefighters spent hours looking for hot spots following a fire at a historic paper mill in Manayunk.

Crews were called around 8:45 p.m. Thursday to the 5000 block of Flat Rock Road.

The building, once known as the Paperworks Philadelphia Mill, has been vacant since 2017.

Investigators are still trying to find how it started.
