Welcome to the Dunn's Corners Fire Department Guestbook. Your feedback is important to us. Feel free to
leave your comments.
Greetings from the middle of Iowa, surronded by flat ground full of corn and beans. When looking on Google for Dallas Center Fire Department (DCFD) references, not only do I pick up the nation's capital fire department but Dunn's Corners. We are not quite as busy as either other DCFD, having 74 fire and rescue calls in 2009.

Just ran across this site. My father was a member of the DCVFD back in the late 60's and early 70's. We lived on Shore Road near Noyes Neck, before any of the streets near Old Man Materese's property had formal names. I fondly remember the Smokey the Bear parade as it came down Shore road and we would come out and wave to Smokey. I am happy to hear it is still going on.... I also remember the horrific fire the destroyed Langwothy barn and the fire that burned through the woods on the back side of Dunn's Corners school. We also used to use the old fire house community room for our Cub Scout meetings. I was back there a couple of years ago and was sad to see the new modern fire station had replaced the old wood building.
Thank you to all who have served in the past, are serving in the present and who will serve in the future.

Mike: Please extend to your brave men & women our heartfelt thanks for their duty. Karl's memorial was a terrific tribute to a wonderful guy. It was a lot for me to register seeing all of the Firefighters from all over, DEM Officers (I worked with most of them) and the Forest Rangers. Karl will be missed by a whole lot of people. Again thanks to all for your service. I am so very proud of DCFD.

I want to let you know how much Karl's Fireman's Funeral meant to the whole family. It couldn't have been more perfect and fitting for Karl. The caring and the respect shown for Karl was so touching. Pat had to try very hard not to break down because she knew so many of you would also dissolve into tears. Great job! You did him proud. Thanks so much.

Mike,
To you and all your people, an "Outstanding Tribute" for Karl, a job well done. We're still certainly going to miss him every day, but it made the "move" a little easier. To the family if there is anything I can ever do just call.

I met Karl Kenyon a long time ago when I first started out with the Massachusetts Forest Fire Control & on the Ma. wildfire team and served with him as a state representative for wildland firefighters crew mobilization of teams for the Northeast Fire Compact way back in the 90's. He was a hard worker and he help inspired and gave a lot of support to new recruits on the team when they responded to their first wildfire call up.
You might say he was the team mascot " Pee Wee" or team peer member. Some people looked up to him like a father, brother and very dear devoted dedicated friend, colleague. We will miss him.

My sincerest sympathies to your department on the passing today of Deputy Chief Karl Kenyon. I had the privilege of working with Karl many times over the years in his capacity with the DEM. He was a great guy and I will miss him, as I am sure you will, too.

I see from my visit this year that Bob Winston payed a visit to this site. When Bob was with the BFD, I helped arranged for our old 1956 Mack Pumper to go a town near where spent the summers. Small world. For you guys, you be safe and maybe when I come up in the summer I can come by and take some photos of fine apparatus.
