Rockford firefighters were called to the scene at 2:23 a.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12. The fire was brought under control within 20 minutes.
According to a press release from the Rockford Fire Department: “The structure was built around another structure, so there were several void spaces which made it more difficult to get to the fire.

Total damage is estimated at $75,000.
