WATERTOWN â Fire Chief Matthew Timerman is not satisfied that state fire administrators have not initiated an internal investigation into how city firefighter Peyton L.S. Morse died after he suffered a medical emergency while training at the state fire academy in early March.
Stressing itâs been five months since the young firefighter died, Chief Timerman said Wednesday heâs requesting that the state Office of Fire Prevention and Control immediately begin an investigation into what led to Mr. Morseâs death.
He sent a letter on Tuesday to acting state fire administrator James Cable, who oversees the state fire academy, for the state to stop âstonewallingâ the investigation and provide answers to what happened.
