An investigation conducted by the Boston Fire Department regarding fake medical training certifications has resulted in the suspension of 54 firefighters. The department announced the suspensions on Thursday after a year-long investigation examined 200 EMTs statewide, according to reports from the Boston Herald and Boston.com.
Boston.com reports:
"While many private ambulance companies planned to fire emergency medical technicians named in the state public health investigation, the Boston Fire Department began its own yearlong inquiry that concluded yesterday, the department said.
“They did not follow established procedures when they were going to be recertified,’’ said Fire Department spokesman Stephen McDonald."
