Two Albuquerque FF’s Fired Following Exam Scandal
TWO FIREFIGHTERS FROM THE ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, Fire Department are out of a job today following their dismissal Friday morning.
Bill Martinez was an instructor conducting a 9-month paramedic course that was designed to upgrade firefighters to the paramedic level. An investigation revealed that he had leaked the state final examination ahead of time to FF Alena Apodaca.
Both of them met with AFD Chief Robert Ortega Friday morning and he took the action to separate them from the department.
