Honolulu EMS Personnel In Trouble Over Risque Calendar Photos

Some Honolulu EMS personnel are under investigation following a breast cancer calendar fundraiser. The female paramedics may have stepped over the line in posing for the calendar in an effort to raise awareness and funds for the Susan B. Komen Race For The Cure Foundation.
