Excerpts from wifr.com:
A Saturday fire in the Luther Center, an apartment complex for seniors, on State Street caused an estimated half a million dollars in damages and forced 85 residents into emergency shelters.
Officials say the Salvation Army, American Red Cross, the Winnebago County Emergency Management Agency, and the Forest City Church helped find emergency shelter for the displaced residents. The city is working with property management to move displaced people from the Red Cross’ emergency shelter to hotels over the coming days.
The building is currently uninhabitable, and the residents who weren’t able to find housing may be displaced for several weeks. More than 100 other residents were able to find temporary housing with friends and family.
The fire started around 2:45 p.m. Saturday at 111 West State Street. Seven engines responded where a fire had been reported on the ninth floor of the 15-story building. Fire crews found the source of the fire in the electrical room and brought it under control in about 20 minutes.
The fire reportedly left major damage to the electrical system, meaning power couldn’t be restored for residents.
A minor injury to one firefighter was reported; no civilians were injured.

Excerpts from rrstar.com:
When a major storm, catastrophic fire or disaster strikes, Rockford Fire Department personnel roll carts of computers, phones, and other equipment into a classroom at fire headquarters.
About 30 minutes later, the classroom is transformed into an emergency operations center where the response of dozens, if not hundreds, of emergency personnel can be coordinated.
Using a $1 million grant secured more than a year ago, plans are to build a dedicated and permanent emergency operations center on the first floor of Rockford Fire Department headquarters, at 204 S. First St.
The emergency operations center is used to assist and enhance the work of emergency dispatchers working in the fire department’s 911 center. Call takers in the center routinely field 27 calls an hour on average.
The Rockford City Council is considering a contract not to exceed $80,000 to acquire architecture and engineering for the project.
Excerpts from mystateline.com:
13 recruits walked the stage at the Rockford Fire Department Recruit Academy Graduation Ceremony. For many of the recruits, this process has taken more than 2 and half years since they applied. There are thorough background checks met with lots of interviewing and test-taking for the recruits.
Rockford is the regional recruitment center and nearby departments are able to send candidates.
11 of the recruits will be joining Rockford. Sterling and Dixon-Rural Fire Departments each had a graduate of their own.
