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...
