HARTLAND A duplex home dating back to 1920 was heavily damaged by fire late Saturday though one unit may still be habitable, according to Hartland fire officials.
Firefighters were called to 9 Gilson Farm Lane around midnight Saturday after the homeowner was alerted to the fire by barking dogs, Assistant Hartland Fire Chief Scott Bowers said.
“When he opened his bedroom door he came face to face with smoke and could see fire,” Bowers said. “He escaped out a bedroom window and then alerted his neighbors, the tenants.”
Nobody was injured in the fire, but firefighters had to return to the scene Sunday morning after it rekindled, Bowers said.

ROCK ISLAND, Ill WQAD News 8 and our parent company, TEGNA, annually award local nonprofits for the work they re doing in our community. This year, $10,000 was given to three area organizations: Glida s Club of the Quad Cities, Schuetzenpark Gilde, and the Rock Island Girls Softball League.
The slow-pitch softball league has been a staple in Rock Island - and the greater Quad Cities - since 1971, and hundreds of girls have passed through the program. Their goal is to provide an inexpensive, low pressure, fun-filled environment for girls of all ages (and abilities) to participate in.
