Excerpts from mystateline.com:
Rockford firefighters attempted to make one neighborhood feel a little safer as they went door to door to install smoke alarms and conduct home safety surveys.
The Rockford Fire Department undertook the initiative in the neighborhood of Winnebago and Maple Streets, in response to a deadly fire last week that claimed the life of a 1-year-old child.
The Rockford Fire Department routinely does similar visits to neighborhoods throughout the city in the aftermath of significant fires.
