10月6日 - 沃特敦 - 城市消防员Peyton L.S的父母。摩尔斯第二纪念他和23个堕落的消防员周二在奥尔巴尼的美丽而尊敬的服务。
But his parents, David M. and Stacy L. Morse, still want answers.
It was the first time that any state officials have publicly acknowledged Peyton’s death after he had a medical emergency while training on March 3 at the state Academy of Fire Science in Montour Falls.
After the 90-minute ceremony at the Empire Plaza in Albany, his mother said she appreciated that the state honored her son for his service as a firefighter. But she’s still requesting to meet with Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul — who spoke about her and the state’s love, respect and appreciation for the fallen firefighters and their families — as “a mother to mother.”
“我们有一个公开的邀请与她见面,”莫尔斯夫人说。

这位21岁的消防员的父母相信他们的儿子的死亡可能会被阻止,指责教师创造欺骗的文化,而不是强调有关消防的教学。
As part of Tuesday’s ceremony, Peyton’s name was placed on the state’s Fallen Firefighters Memorial outside of the Empire State Plaza. It was the 24th ceremony for fallen firefighters since the wall was erected in 1997.
这是大约40个家庭成员,朋友和Watertown Firedention Firefighters第一次看到Peyton的名字,因为它被蚀刻在墙上。
Fire Chief Matthew R. Timerman加入19个城市消防员参加仪式。少数佩顿的家庭成员穿着黄色T恤 - 他最喜欢的颜色 - 阅读Hashtag Justiceforpeyton。
After the ceremony, Watertown firefighter Eric Moore climbed a ladder and traced Peyton’s name on the wall onto several white pieces of paper and gave them to some of his family members.
在会议中心之外,城市消防员震撼了莫尔斯先生的手,向家庭提供了哀悼。他们圈出了莫尔斯夫人,他们感谢他们的支持,并敦促他们“坚持”。
首席蒂莫蔓,谁知道你ng firefighter all of his life, said he’s waiting for another time, when he’s with his boys, to go over to the memorial wall, view Peyton’s name and get an etching.
“当它有点安静时,我会回来的,”他说。
仪式是“尊敬Peyton的好方法,但它并没有填补空白,损失,”他说。
On the wall, Peyton joins two other firefighters the chief knew, Watertown Battalion Chief David Lachenauer, who died in 2018 of cancer associated with his service at the pile at the World Trade Center, and T.J. Lynde, who he got to know in paramedic school and died in a basement fire.
City Firefighter Chris St. Joseph said it was important that he and the other 18 Watertown firefighters attended the ceremony to honor Peyton, respect his family and stand for each of their brothers in the department.
“It’s rare to lose a firefighter,” he said.
Chief Timerman, firefighter St. Joseph, and captains Rich Little and Ron Wareham were together while Peyton was in a Sayre, Pa., hospital for nine days until he died on March 12.
But some of the city firefighters were only getting to know Peyton before his death or had never met him, Chief Timerman said.
“Whether it’s one day or 30 days, once you’re one of us, you’re one of us,” he said.
在仪式上,GOV.Hochul告诉堕落的消防员的父母,并非所有的孩子都回答服务呼吁他们的社区。但她说,他们的表现了。
“Your child is the one who said ‘I will,'” she said.

Deputy Fire Administrator William R. Davis simply said the flag was presented to the family “on the behalf of the state of New York.” He didn’t say that he was sorry for what happened.
“It was a beautiful ceremony, but it doesn’t answer the questions and we still don’t have any transparency,” Mr. Morse said.
State police is investigating, as well as the state Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau, or PESH, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH. Peyton’s parents have questioned the progress of the investigation by PESH.
在训练期间,佩顿的医疗紧急情况发生在他使用自我呼吸仪器 - 或SCBA时发生。已经确定呼吸器处于适当的工作状态。他的父母坚持认为他身体健康,他们不明白为什么教师在他开始呼吸困难时没有来援助。
They stressed that they want to make sure another recruit doesn’t go through what Peyton did.
