District Fire Chief Robert Ortega alleged that a specific employee received answers to the oral exam, leading to exceptionally high scores that compromised the fairness of the Battalion Chief test. He described this as a violation of ethics, voicing significant concern regarding the promotion process within the department, particularly for individuals with connections. He emphasized that division chiefs like Edward Altidor have an unfair advantage in promotions, indicating a troubling pattern of favoritism.
Ortega's complaint to the internal affairs unit raises questions about the integrity of the Battalion Chief exam results, particularly after he highlighted that the testing materials did not match the official study guides provided to candidates, leading to a lack of transparency and fairness. This discrepancy has fueled suspicions among other candidates and calls for a thorough investigation into the testing process to ensure all candidates are evaluated on equal footing.
