Firefighter Shawn Powell
Engine 207

Memorial Service was held
on November 10, 2001.

Shawn E. Powell was the firefighter with the light touch. Whether working at Engine Company 207 in downtown Brooklyn, at home in Crown Heights, or camping with his 5- year-old son, Joshua, he had a way of lifting spirits. "If there wasn't any fun going on, he would find a way," said Matthew Dwyer, a fellow firefighter. "With Shawn, the glass was half full, never half empty." Firefighter Powell, 32, brought unusual skills to the Fire Department.
