The Rockford Fire Department battles two separate garage fires in a span of about 12 hours. The first happened in the 1200 block of School St. at around 8:30 last night. Firefighters arrived to find flames engulfing the inside and outside of the garage. They were able to put the fire out without any injuries to themselves or the residents. The other fire happened this morning in the 2400 block of Winnetka Dr. Firefighters arrived on scene in just three minutes. They discovered smoke pouring out of the garage and the roof of the home when they arrived. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze quickly and no one was injured. The causes of both fires are still being investigated.
