1月18日 - 沃特敦 - 州消防学院不再使用城市消防员Pe188博金宝体育1yton L.S.的面具信心培训道具莫尔斯（Morse）去年3月遭受医疗紧急情况，后来去世。
On March 3, Mr. Morse was training inside a 21-foot-long, 3 1/2-foot-tall wooden box at the New York State Academy of Fire Science in Montour Falls, near Watkins Glen, when he was stricken with a medical emergency. He died nine days later in a Pennsylvania hospital.
The fire academy has replaced the plywood box with a mask-confidence training prop manufactured by a German fire equipment company.
年轻消防员去世将近一年后，今年春季的消防员招聘课将是第一个将新的培训道具作为消防学院实施的一系列变化的一部分。188博金宝体育1
But the fire academy didn’t replace the wooden tunnel — called “the box” — in response to what happened to Mr. Morse, Watertown Fire Chief Matthew R. Timerman said.
这是在事件事件发生之前与莫尔斯先生的计划之前很久，作为获得一些新培训设备的赠款奖项的一部分。
蒂姆曼酋长继续对消防学院政府对莫尔斯先生的死做出反应的方式感到沮丧，并强调必须做出改变，以免再次发生。188博金宝体育1
“A reasonable person would have taken a hard look after Peyton’s death,” Chief Timerman said.
Last month, Chief Timerman expressed disappointment that the Public Employee Safety and Health, or PESH, determined the fire academy did nothing wrong when Mr. Morse suffered the medical emergency. Chief Timerman has been adamant the recruit’s death could have been prevented.
An investigation into the breathing apparatus that Mr. Morse was wearing has determined it was working properly that day. An autopsy revealed that Mr. Morse, 21, was in good health.
在与莫尔斯先生事件发生之前，很长一段时间都在进行替换面具信仰培训道具。
The fire academy obtained a federal grant in 2018 to acquire the manufactured mask-confidence prop and other training equipment.
在德威特消防局询问其一名消防员新兵受伤后，设备的变化发生了曝光，他们在2021年8月31日在该学院的梯子上训练了手臂。
三周后，德威特消防局长杰森·格林（Jason C.
身份不明的德威特消防员从倒塌的梯子上摔倒进行训练后受伤。
In a responding Dec. 14 letter, James B. Cable, the fire administrator for the state Fire Prevention and Control, wrote that a 2018 Assistance Firefighters grant award was obtained to support changes with firefighter survival and self-contained breathing apparatus, or SCBA, training at the academy for mask-confidence training.
新的面具训练道具于12月在学院安装。
“The prop didn’t kill Peyton Morse,” Chief Timerman said. “It was the neglect of his instructors.”
他和全州的其他消防官员越来越关注新兵在学院接受的培训，其中一些人将其描述为大学兄弟会的氛围。近年来，还抱怨一系列新兵受伤。
To make a real difference, changes “in attitudes and culture” have to be made at the academy, Chief Timerman said.
他说，消防学院所做的唯一变化是通过联邦赠款获得的资金188博金宝体育1的结果。
作为这些变化的一部分，该学院将停止使用数十年来用于培训的健身房。
在他的调查,主要绿色寻求解释to the circumstances in which his fire recruit was injured while training on a ladder. Chief Green also wanted the academy to find solutions so future recruits aren’t injured in that manner.
消防学院188博金宝体育1与德威特新兵一起调查了这一事件。
身份不明的德威特消防员是在模拟事件的新兵中，他们不得不跳出窗户并逃离梯子。在训练练习期间，新兵吸引了梯子，因此，一位讲师将梯子倒置为防止这种情况的发生。
德威特的新兵与梯子纠缠并摔倒了。
According to Mr. Cable’s Dec. 14 letter, the fire academy has purchased straight ladders that will prevent recruits from getting entangled during ladder bailout evolutions.
Cable先生写道，该学院正在评估其他变化，例如在梯子训练中放置垫子或垫子。
Chief Green had also expressed concerns that the injury had not been properly reported. Instructors that day were unaware that the injury occurred; he also asked about the chain in command when an injury occurs.
In his letter, Mr. Cable wrote that the academy is reviewing how injuries are reported.
上周，格林酋长告诉《沃特敦日报》，该学院需要做更多的事情，以确保新兵的安全。
Mr. Cable thanked Chief Green for inquiring about the incident involving the DeWitt recruit, writing that he appreciates when stakeholders offer feedback because it’s “an important and necessary component of the ongoing process of continual improvement of the Recruit Firefighter Training Program and the State Fire Training Program as a whole.”
凯布尔先生邀请格林酋长与他联系，如果他还有其他问题或疑虑。
That response to Chief Green’s inquiry was in direct contrast to Chief Timerman’s experience with the fire academy administration, the Watertown chief said.
Unlike the DeWitt fire recruit incident, the academy has not conducted its own internal investigation into Mr. Morse’s death, he said.
The academy administration has not responded to his questions about what happened to his recruit and if any changes have been made as a result of his death, Chief Timerman said.
“I got nothing, no reaction,” he said.
On the day of the incident, Mr. Morse was using the breathing apparatus during training inside the fire academy’s gymnasium. It was during his third week of training, known as “hell week.”
下午1:30左右那天下午，莫尔斯先生在隧道内，一边戴着空气包和面具，当他开始挣扎时戴着胶带。
While he was inside the box, some recruits heard the alarms going off and Mr. Morse say, “I can’t breathe.”
He was found unresponsive halfway out of the box. He was taken by an academy van to a nearby hospital and transferred to a Sayre, Pa., medical center, where he died nine days later.
Asked for a response about any changes at the academy, the state Department of Labor referred to a previous statement that was provided to media outlets in November.
“After a thorough investigation, no violations were issued by the New York State Department of Labor to the New York State Fire Academy in Montour Falls or the City of Watertown in connection to the death of Peyton Morse,” it reads.
称其为“一个被指控” incident, the Labor Department said it was not investigating the incident involving the DeWitt recruit, adding that it investigates all complaints.
“…We remain committed to protecting New Yorkers’ safety on the job,” according to the statement.
The state police’s Violent Crimes Unit with Troop E, based in Canandaigua, has been assigned to investigate Mr. Morse’s death. The unit investigates assaults, homicides and other serious crimes.
美国国家职业安全与健康研究所NIOSH也正在进行一项调查，以确定如何防止将来类似情况。
