Type 3 Incident Management Team

In 2003, the State of Colorado Resource Mobilization Working Group began developing state
standards for individual resources and Type 3 Incident Management Teams. The Type 3 Incident Management Team Subcommittee of the Working Group agreed to use the National Park Service task books and guidelines as a template with modifications for the state program. The documents created from this process provide guidance for the establishment of minimum standards for incident personnel using these "All-Risk" task books and standards.Personnel who are certified in a NWCG position prior to the implementation of this guideline, may retain that certification
and carry it over into the Colorado system. To qualify in any other State positions, the individual must meet the standards identified herein. New NWCG position certifications can be used for most Colorado positions with the exception
of Command and Operational positions outside of a Wildland fire incident.

This initiative is designed to:

With the publication of these guidelines, the standards established in this guide are to be met by all participating
agencies and organizations that choose to certify individuals and teams within the Colorado system. Individuals who
have begun the process of qualifying for a position under NWCG guidelines may continue to use those standards
and will be accepted by the Colorado system. Additionally, any individual who has begun the evaluation process
need not take any newly required course(s) for that position. No local agency is required to use these standards
or qualifications to manage their own incidents.
