The West Fork and Windy Pass fires are now being managed as a complex called the West Fork Complex. A National Incident Management Team Organization (NIMO) team has been ordered with a Type 2 configuration. The structure of the NIMO teams allows them a great deal of flexibility in terms of ramping firefighting resources up or down as needed. NIMO members will begin arriving later today, with a transition occurring on Tuesday. NIMO teams are also structured to allow for management of longer-term incidents and free up the Type 3 Team to be available for new starts in southwest Colorado.
