As of 4 p.m. E26 Driver Rusty “The Prince” Schindler will have completed is final shift after 36 years of dedicated service with the Hamilton Fire Department.

Rusty’s leadership was defined by his character. Throughout his career, he earned the respect of his brothers and sisters by consistently leading through example. He mentored younger members, supported his crew, and left the department stronger than he found it.

Rusty was a strong advocate for the union mission with IAFF Local 20. Serving in multiple positions as an Executive Board member and Chairman of our Charity Committee. He understood the principles and that represented IAFF Local 20 and was always a valued voice for members both on and off the job.

Today, we recognize Rusty on his accomplished career and a well-deserved retirement. Wishing him health, happiness, and many great years ahead with his family.

Congratulations Brother Schindler!
