FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Firefighter Brian Carey, Homewood, IL Press Release
HOMEWOOD, IL March 31, 2010 Last evening, Tuesday, March 30, 2010 before 9:00 PM, the Homewood Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a structure fire at a single-family residence at 17622 Lincoln Avenue in Homewood. First arriving fire crews found a house with visible smoke and flames, and were advised that at least one occupant remained inside the structure.
Firefighters initiated rescue and extinguishment operations, and, upon entering the structure, encountered heavy heat and fire conditions. Because of the extreme heat and the amount of fire burning inside the house, the sole occupant, 87-year old Wendell H. Elias, could not be reached and his body was located after entry could be made. The other occupant of the house, 89-year old Bertha A. Elias, had escaped and was transported to South Suburban Hospital with non-fire related injuries. She is in stable condition at this time.
During the rescue attempt, Homewood firefighter paramedics, Brian Carey (28 years old) and Karra Kopas (21-year old) were injured. They were taken by ambulance to South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest (IL) where they were treated. Firefighter Carey succumbed to his injuries and passed away while at the hospital. Firefighter Kopas suffered first and second degree burns and is in stable condition at the University of Chicago Burn Center.
Firefighter/Paramedic Carey joined the Homewood Fire Department as a part-time firefighter/paramedic on August 20, 2008, and was hired as a full-time firefighter/paramedic on December 13, 2009. Firefighter/Paramedic Kopas joined the Homewood Fire Department as a part-time firefighter/paramedic on June 23, 2005.

Nothing gets my eyes over-flowing than a Brother who came in, but never came out.
We all go out when those tones go off. Whether it's Volunteer or 'Paid', we run in shouting, when others run out screaming. There is a special place in Heaven for the ones who gave all trying to help others. Brian is now watching over other fellow Firefighters, and he will be missed.

I was honored and fortunate enough to lead the Ride For Boo from Kansas City to Hay's Kansas on Sept. 10, 2010, en route to the National Firefighter Memorial Service in CO Spgs. I have never ridden with such a brotherhood and will remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you and God Bless Boo and all the other first responders across this great land.
