Interagency Incident Management Teams

In the Continental United States and Alaska there are 15 National Interagency Incident Management Teams categorized as Type 1 and 36 teams categorized as Type 2. Both types of teams are strategically located throughout states, which are more prone to wildland fires. The teams consist of members from a wide variety of federal, state, county, and local agencies. The major difference between the incident team assignment is complexity of the incident or wildland fire. As a general rule, Type 1 National Teams manage large wildland fires with over 500 people assigned and address the most complicated logistical, fiscal, planning, operational and safety issues. The Command and General Staff on National Teams must successfully complete Advanced Incident Management training at the National Advanced Resource Technology Center before participating on these teams. Type 2 Teams generally manage less complex wildland fires, less than 500 people, and address less complicated management issues.
