Excerpts from wifr.com:
A man is dead after a fire erupted in a home Saturday afternoon in the 1600 block of 9th Street in Rockford.
The Rockford Fire Department says the man was trapped inside at the fire room. When firefighters were able to reach him, he was already dead.
Another woman inside the home survived the fire and is being helped by the Red Cross for setting up emergency housing.
The fire remains under investigation but officials say it appears to be accidental in nature at this time.

- This fire truck is a very new piece of apparatus, and rare on the used fire truck market today. Feel free to touch base with us to get the full history on this rig, and we will be glad to pass it along, but with minimal time passed since it was produced, this vehicle will have many years remaining to serve at its next fire department!
- This fire truck has been well taken care of, and has very little use during its life. With very few miles, it should serve your fire department for years to come!
