OREGON STATE FIRE MARSHAL
TYPE 2 All-Hazards Incident Management Team
GREEN TEAM
STATUS: The Green Team is on call this rotation, September 8-14.
UPDATED 8/16/2015
Who we are
The State Fire Marshal's three Incident Management Teams (IMT) provide comprehensive incident command to manage ongoing emergency operations. IMTs provide incident management expertise in logistics, finance, planning, public information, operations, safety, and community issues.
Team members come from fire and emergency management agencies from around the state. Members do not work full time on the teams; rather they are the firefighters, paramedics, supervisors and support staff from partner agencies across Oregon. When called upon, they are deployed and respond to whatever emergency requires their assistance.
About us
The teams respond with resources mobilized by the Governor for a conflagration or other emergency that has overwhelmed the control and resources of local emergency responders (ORS 476.510). IMTs enhance effective coordination among responding agencies during fires, floods, earthquakes, structural collapses, tsunamis, hazardous material releases, and other natural or human-caused incidents.
While many of our deployments are to protect structures during wildfire conflagrations, our experience, training and ability to adapt to any number of varying incidents makes us a key part of any disaster response and recovery.
