After more than a year on the job, 12 Atlanta firefighter paramedics didn't have the proper paperwork to prove they’d passed all the necessary training, according to an audit obtained by Channel 2 Action News. Those 12 were pulled off the streets and put back in training. Paul Gerdis, with Atlanta Professional Firefighters, said only 12 of the 25 who graduated in the class of 2016 passed the paramedics test. An internal audit showed their trainer did not file paperwork properly, so it was unclear if they had received the required training. It was also unclear if the trainer will be disciplined, Channel 2 reported.
