Rockford Fire Chief Rob Belna said the roof and attic sustained heavy damage, and smoke and fire damage were evident throughout the home. No one was injured. An investigation into the cause is continuing with assistance from the state fire marshal's office. Firefighters cleared the scene shortly before 1 a.m. and the family is reportedly staying with relatives.
