Incident Management Team
In the United States, there are predominantly five types of incident management teams (IMTs). An incident such as a wildland fire
is initially managed by local fire departments or fire agencies, but if
the fire becomes complex additional resources are called in to address
the emergency, and higher levels of management training and capability
are required. IMTs are "typed" according to the complexity of incidents
they are capable of managing and are part of an incident command system.
To manage the logistical,
fiscal, planning, operational, safety and community issues related to
the incident/emergency, an Incident Management Team will provide the command and control infrastructure that is required.
Incident management starts as the smallest unit and escalates
according to the complexity of the emergency. The five types of IMTs are
as follows:
- Type 5: Local Village and Township Level – a "pool" of primarily fire officers from several neighboring departments trained to serve in Command and General Staff positions during the first 6–12 hours of a major or complex incident.
