The Central Oregon Incident Management Team (COIMT) has been deployed to the Rooster Rock Fire, burning approximately six miles south of Sisters. Transfer of command to this Type 2 interagency team is scheduled for 8 a.m. tomorrow, August 3.
COIMT is one of four Type 2 interagency area teams located in the state of Oregon. The team is comprised of members from local, state and federal wildland and structural agencies throughout Oregon. COIMT members are highly skilled specialists in command, safety, information, finance, logistics, operations and planning, and work with Agency administrators and firefighters to meet their objectives without compromising regulations or safety.
Once the team is up and running on the fire, more information on Rooster Rock will be posted and available on Inciweb at http://www.inciweb.org/.
