Northwest Rescue's Rockford Westside station covers the city west of the Rock River and the communities out toward Winnebago and Pecatonica. Dispatch is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

West of the river the city thins out fast. Crews here cover west Rockford and keep going into Winnebago, Pecatonica, and the farmland between them, where response distances get long quickly and the nearest hospital is a drive rather than a few blocks. A unit posted on this side is what keeps those outlying addresses from waiting on a rig coming across town.
