Incident Management Teams





The Incident Management Teams mobilize primarily to fire incidents threatening lives and structures, but also manage a variety of other incidents.

The teams use the incident command system to provide:

  • Expertise in safety, public information, community issues, operations, planning, logistics, and communications.
  • Structure, support, and oversight for ongoing emergency operations.
  • Enhanced effective coordination among responding agencies.
  • Development of a plan to aggressively and safely mitigate the incident through unified command or a single incident command structure.

The most likely way for a team to mobilize is at the request of the governor through the invocation of the Emergency Conflagration Act.
