F.D.N.Y.
The FDNY IMT is a "Type 2" Incident Management Team under the classification system developed by the National Incident Management System. "Type 2" Incident Management Teams (IMTs) are assigned to manage large-scale, complex incidents. These incidents usually involve hurricanes and other natural disasters, as well as other national emergencies. The FDNY IMT is current working a forst fire in Idaho. The actually have their own web site,

There are 17 national "Type 1" Incident Management Teams (IMT’s) available for assignment to manage large-scale, complex incidents anywhere in the country. These incidents usually involve large wildfires, but Type 1 Teams can be assigned to any complex all-risk situation which could include hurricanes, floods and other disasters. Several Type 1 teams were assigned to assist FEMA after the September 11th attack, the shuttle recovery effort and Hurricane Katrina.



A better website is visit is [url="http://199.134.225.53/archived_2005/nofd_ufc/"]http://199.134.225.53/archived_2005/nofd_ufc/[/url] This website provides iinformation on the unified command system used in New Orleans after Katrina hit.



An Incident Management Team (IMT) is a comprehensive resource (a team) to either augment ongoing operations through provision of infrastructure support, or when requested, transition to an incident management function to include all components/functions of a Command and General Staff. An IMT:



Includes command and general staff members and support personnel

Has statutory authority and/or formal response requirements and responsibilities

Has pre-designated roles and responsibilities for members (Rostered and on-call: Identified and able to be contacted for deployment)

Is available 24/7/365



IMTs may be designated by "type," based on capability, the level of training and experience, and reasonably anticipated incident response requirements. A full description of IMT types can be found below. In summary, the descriptions are:



Type 1: National or State team for incidents of national significance

Type 2: National or State team for incidents of regional significance

All-Hazard: State or Regional multi-agency / multi-jurisdiction team for extended incidents

Local IMT: Single or multi-agency team for expanded incidents



Much like rescue and hazmat capabilities, incident management capabilities should be based on reasonably anticipated response requirements. Every municipality needs to have access to an IMT, but not every fire department needs to have their own IMT.



A typical agency needs personnel trained and qualified to fill command and general staff roles at major/complex incidents who will recognize when a more robust level of incident management support is needed (such as a Local IMT).



Larger municipal departments or regional areas with several departments (those likely to have multiple-alarm fires or other major incidents on a regular basis) should have a Local IMT.



Each state and major metropolitan region, as well as other high-risk areas (those likely to have multi-day complex incidents or special events requiring a written IAP) should have a multi-discipline, All-Hazard IMT.



If a local incident expands beyond the capability or experience available, a department should have the capability to establish a Local IMT on-site. They can request an All-Hazard IMT regionally or through the State (again, if established). An All-Hazard IMT may take 2-4 hours to deploy and arrive. If the incident so warrants and the State doesn't have a Type 2 or Type 1 IMT, the State can request, through FEMA or through wildland fire agreements, a National IMT. (These are expensive, and there has to be some type of mobilization order and payment agreement.) Depending on the National situation, the incident type/complexity, and the location, the National Interagency Fire Center may deploy either a Type 1 or Type 2 IMT.

That's actually my 24 partner Mike behind the wheel of 46. I was chauffering 42 Engine today so that all of their members could attend the Memorial Plaque Dedication today in honor of Lt. Howie Carpluk from E-42, and FF Mike Reilly from E-75, who both died in the line of duty one year ago today.

Here are some FDNY vehicles not seen so often. the first is a simple pick up truck from the academy. It brought bottled water to FF Beddia's funeral last Friday. It was so loaded it was sitting on the rear axle.



Next is a former ambo now used as a command tactical vehicle by the dept photographers.



Next is a bus from the Rock.

new mobile operations center that is housed in brooklyn at eng 207 the new unit will be used at extended fire and emergency operations, as well as community events and fire safety programs. Responding only on special calls, it will be operated by members of the Borough Command staff. In certain situations, it can also be utilized as a back up Field Communications Unit

I'm sure that this has something to do with what they call "mutuals" where people can cover each others shifts so that guys could work 24 on. I'm sure though I didn't explain it quite right and someone will point out my errors.

Plain and simple. Explaining is a toughie. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />



The Brothers are each assigned a "group" number between 1-25. We do 2 9 hour days, 2 off. 2 15 hour nights, 3 off. Every 25 days you get a 3rd day off on day tours to ensure a 40 hour week.





For example. Lets say I am in Group 1. To line up a perfect 24 partner, he must be 12 away, so going up would be 13, down would be 14. Either of the Brothers in these groups would be a perfect 24 partner.



Looking at a calendar, you see 2 sets of numbers. The top number are 1,2,3,4,5,6, while the bottom numbers are 16-21. The top numbers are the day tour, bottom numbers are the night tour.



Next day, we move 3. Now its 4-9, and 19-24. And so on and so on........





Hope this helps a little.





Be safe, Brothers.
Kill 'em all, let Allah sort 'em out. NEVER forget 9/11/01 WTC, Pentagon, Pa. Avenge the acts with NO mercy.

Thanks to ALL the Brothers who were there 9/11/01 and afterwards. Words can never say what appreciation we have for you all.

BELIEVE ME, when you figure our schedule out (it's really not tough at all, it just sounds tough when trying to explain it), it's a GREAT schedule. I'll take our schedule ANYDAY over 4 on and 4 off. For the most part, you work 24 and get 4 off, sometimes more, depending on who's working the first set of the next mutual.
