Red Cross volunteers and married couple Scott and Kate comfort Doreen in the days following her home fire Photo Credit: Rockford Fire DepartmentĪ local husband and wife volunteer team, Scott Suma and Kate Rehak, responded to that fire and helped the family figure out what to do in the coming days and navigate the confusing time after a home fire. The McCullough home on Bildahl Street on September 3, 2019. Soon the Rockford Fire Department arrived and put out the fire, but not before the house was damaged to the point of being unlivable. Doreen and her husband Lial as well as their two daughters, Makila and Carmen, all sat across the street in the early morning hours and watched the home they had lived in for nearly 12 years go up in a ball of fire. The entire family escaped the house as the flames started to envelope an entire side of the home. “All I could see was this big orange ball of fire, I mean it was huge,” Doreen said. She went downstairs and woke up her mother, Doreen, who then woke up her other daughter, 25-year-old Carmen.
As the smoke drifted in an upstairs window of the home, it set off a smoke alarm waking up 12-year-old Makila.
