QUINCY, Mass. (AP) - Firefighters from around the country are in Quincy today for the wake of Boston Fire Lt. Kevin Kelley.

He was killed last Friday when the fire truck he was riding on careened down a steep hill and crashed into an apartment building on Huntington Avenue.

The accident prompted an inspection of the brake systems on dozens of city fire trucks.
