On July 24, firefighters from throughout the region came to give their respect to Jerome Dauwalter, 61, who died on July 19. Dauwalter served as the Carver fire chief for 13 years, and was a member of the department for 34 years. Fire engines from Carver, Chaska, Shakopee, Norwood Young America, and Waconia lined Second and Pine streets near Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Chaska, where the service was held. Pictured at right is Carver’s vintage fire truck, which carried Dauwalter’s casket to the church.
