Rockford FIre Department

The Winnebago County Coroner just completed an autopsy on a woman who died in a house fire on Christmas Eve and is releasing more details about her identity.

As the fire was spreading across the 1st floor of this home, a passerby saw someone in the window trapped upstairs. His quick reactions saved a life.

As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words." In this case, we have several pictures and lots of words in the form of questions.

Knowing CPR is something that everybody should know, but unfortunately that's not the case. So when an emergency situation arrises, it can make matters a lot worse if there's nobody around to do CPR when needed. Rockford Fire Department just launched a new app that aims to solve that issue...

Right now, in this moment, are you confident that all of your smoke alarms are ready to warn your family if there's a fire? Get your family prepared.

Rockford's Police and Fire Departments are used to rescuing people in this community, but today they are on a mission to rescue Christmas!

Here's your chance to be "the most important person they'll never see" as a 911 Telecommunicator in Rockford.

This event answers the question, who is stronger...Rockford Police or Rockford Fire, and raises $ for an awesome organization.

Just because buildings aren't on fire, that doesn't mean that the Rockford Fire Department is just sitting around.

Compared to the 1st nine months of 2018, violent crimes, property crimes, robberies, aggravated assaults, shots fired and auto thefts are all down.
