No injuries have been reported following an overnight house fire in Windsor.

Fire officials say the structure was occupied, but there was no word on how many people may have been displaced.

Damage has been estimated at $400,000.

Investigators were unable on Tuesday morning to conduct a thorough look into the cause or origin of the fire due to structural conditions.
