NIMO is composed of four Incident Management Teams (IMT). Each team consists of seven members who are assigned full-time to Command and General Staff positions. While complex fire management is the primary focus of their positions, only 10% of time is spent on fire incidents. These teams work in support of a variety of national and international incidents and projects. In addition, they have year-round non-incident duties in support of fire and aviation management to improve consistency and fire management processes.

- IMT Support & Management of Fires
