WATERTOWN â Peyton Lane S. Morseâs grandfather and great-uncle are demanding answers about how the young city firefighter died during a training exercise at the state fire academy almost two weeks ago.
Ronald Morse, Peytonâs grandfather, and his uncle Stan Morse are so angry about the circumstances regarding how the fire recruit died that they drove to the New York State Academy of Fire Science in Montour Falls, near Watkins Glen, on Tuesday morning and picketed in front of the fire training school.
They carried signs that read the fire academy was âdangerous,â accusing instructors of not responding in a timely manner during the medical emergency in which Peyton was found unresponsive in the March 3 incident.
