Biography[]
In the first Season, Chuck is first seen with Doug near their ambulance vehicle. Frequently, Chuck talks about his retirement plans to Doug coming up throughout each Seasons. In other words, Chuck is getting sick of working at EMT, since he is getting old.
In the final Season, Doug gets a phone call in his house kitchen that Chuck had passed away from a heart attack. Chuck died on his retirement day. Shortly after passing Doug finds Chuck’s 13 year old sourdough starter in the work fridge and brings it home to keep in his fridge, until Doug's wife, Elsa, threw it away thinking it was old yoghurt. This infuriated Doug as it was Chuck’s bread making legacy.
