St. Marys swears in new firefighter-EMT Rusty Bonden Hubel
Summary
Chief Harris introduced and administered the oath to newly hired firefighter‑EMT Rusty Bonden Hubel, who will begin paramedic training this fall.
Chief Harris introduced the council to the city’s newest firefighter‑EMT, Rusty Bonden Hubel, and the council witnessed the oath of office and a ceremonial pinning.
The swearing‑in matters because it officially places a certified firefighter‑EMT on duty for the city’s emergency services and notes the department’s staffing and training plans for the coming year.
Chief Harris told council that Rusty is a 2024 graduate of Houston High School, participated in athletics and FFA, and is a member of the National Honor Society. Chief Harris said Rusty earned EMT and Firefighter II certifications through Sinclair Community College and is in the process of registering at Rhodes State College to begin paramedic training this fall. After presenting Rusty, the chief administered the oath of office; Rusty repeated the oath to “support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the State of Ohio” and to “faithfully, honestly, impartially discharge the duties of the office of firefighter for the City of Saint Mary's.”
The transcript records the ceremonial oath and the chief’s presentation; no formal council vote was required for the swearing‑in. The council and attendees congratulated Rusty following the oath.
