A Watertown firefighter is dead after a medical emergency he suffered earlier this month at the New York State Fire Academy.

Peyton Morse died Friday afternoon at Guthrie Hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, near the state border.

The 21 year old suffered a medical emergency on March 3 while participating in the recruit firefighter training program.

Seven Rochester Fire Department recruits were pulled from the training in Schuyler County, but later returned. 

A fire coordinator for Monroe County says it's up to the individual fire departments to send their recruits to that facility, and says many are waiting to learn more about the incident.
