No injuries were reported in the aftermath of a Jan. 20 Northville Township house fire that caused "significant" damage to a structure located in the 16000 Block of Forest Drive, according to township Fire Chief Brent Siegel.

In addition to the blaze, township firefighters had to endure brutally cold conditions that included sub-zero wind chills.

The cause and origin of the fire remained under investigation as of Jan. 21.

The Northville Township Fire Department was assisted by units from Northville city, Livonia and Novi.

"We would like to thank our mutual-aid partners for their assistance," Siegel noted.

Main Street League, a local nonprofit, is collecting donations for the family. Go to www.mainstreetleague.com/hamilton-house-fire for more in formation.
