All-Hazard Response

The Oregon State Fire Marshal has three all-hazard incident management teams made up of professionals from the Oregon fire service and other government agencies. These teams manage emergency response to wildfires and other disasters to keep communities safe.

The teams typically respond to wildfires that threaten lives and homes, but they can also handle other types of emergencies. The teams use a system called the Incident Command System to:

Photo Slider

Provide expertise in safety, communication, operations, planning, and more.
Offer structure and support for ongoing emergency efforts.
Help coordinate between all the agencies responding to the incident.
Create a plan to control the situation safely and efficiently.

The teams are usually mobilized when the governor invokes the Emergency Conflagration Act, which allows the state fire marshal to move resources through the Oregon Fire Mutual Aid System. The teams work closely with local fire departments and first responders to manage large incidents.

If you're interested in joining one of these teams, check out our recruitment opportunities and see how you can help make a difference in emergency response.

Recruitment and Qualifications

Recruitment is closed.

Applicants who do not meet the qualification criteria will not be accepted.

The recruitment process is selective. Applicants, references, and/or others within the applicant's agency may be contacted by Oregon State Fire Marshal staff, incident commanders, and/or incident management team section chiefs during the selection process. Applicants should expect to be interviewed.

Acceptance into the Oregon State Fire Marshal's incident management team program is not a guarantee of assignment. Team members are mobilized based on incident need, team rotation, and availability. Incident management team members are not employees of the Oregon State Fire Marshal. At its sole discretion, the Oregon State Fire Marshal may mobilize team members deemed appropriate for each incident and may remove team members from the program.

It is the expectation of the Oregon State Fire Marshal and incident commanders that all team members provide the highest level of customer service to all involved with or impacted by an incident. Team members represent both their home agency and Oregon and are expected to always be professional.

Standard Operating Guidelines & IMT Qualification Criteria

Guidelines assist incident management teams in providing safe, effective, and efficient command and control during statewide mobilizations.
