Book excerpt: The problem was that the New Hanover County Fire Rescue does not have enough command officers to manage complex or large-scale incidents effectively and efficiently. The purpose of this research was to examine the elements of an incident management team to determine the feasibilty of utilizing this concept to manage large complex incidents. Descriptive research was used to determine what type of incident management team is most appropriate for the region; what national, state, or local training standards exist for incident management teams; what do regional agencies believe should be part of the training and credential program for incident management teams; and how would a regional incident management team be accepted by agencies in the region? Procedures included literature review, hazard analysis, and a questionnaire.
