Born and raised in a small town in Vermont before moving to Crested Butte, Colorado in 1990, Chief Chuck Cerasoli’s early adult life was spent skiing and recreating in the Colorado mountains and working in the residential construction industry.  Chuck moved to Steamboat Springs early in 2000 after a brief stint in Fort Collins while earning a Master’s degree in Construction Management.  Chuck started as a volunteer for the Steamboat Springs Fire Department in the fall of 2000 and quickly fell in love with the Fire and EMS service.  Over the years Chuck worked his way through ranks – Lieutenant, Captain, Deputy Fire Chief and became the Fire Chief in the fall of 2020 after a year of being the Interim Fire Chief.
