The Kensett Fire Department was just awarded a grant from the Worth County Development Authority of $212,519.70 towards their new fire station. They would like to thank Diamond Jo Casino, the WCDA and the Worth County Trustees for their support. With this money their dream of having a new fire station on the corner of 6th street and Elm Street, just west of Centennial Park, will become a reality later this summer. The Fire Department has purchased the lot that was once the old Ford Dealership, and in recent years has been a storage area for Bratrud Golf.
The Fire Department will keep everyone updated as to their progress and look forward to having a open house upon completion. Thank you again for everyone's support.

Kensett was named after a Baltimore oyster packer named Thomas Kensett, who promised to build a church in town if it was named after him. He never fulfilled his promise.
