It was a send-off fit for a hero. And that's what people are calling Brian Carey. The funeral for the 28-year-old firefighter from Homewood drew firefighters from all over the Midwest.

To see all of the fire departments represented at the funeral is to get a sense of what firefighters call "the brotherhood."

Hundreds of firefighters came from Arlington Heights, Lake Zurich, Green Bay, and Little Rock. Most didn't know Brian Carey. Never met him. That doesn't matter, they say.

"The brotherhood is thick. It's deep," said Deputy Chief Bill Potocki, New Lenox EMS.
