History of ICS Organization
 Incident Command
System was first
adopted in in early
1970’s in So. Cal to
fight large Wild fires.
 It was needed due
to large complexity
of fires that involved
multiple agencies &
many resources.
Visual 6.1
Incident Command System Worked!
 Resulted in system called Fire Scope but later
was adopted by California and called
Standardized Incident Management. (SIMS)
 Fire, Law Enforcement, EMS and First
Responders liked the system due to the clear
lines of authority, responsibilities and
accountability.
 In 1980 Federal Government adopted the
system and called it (NIMS) National Incident
Management System; now used by FEMA as
their standard.

NIMS becomes the Standard
 NIMS has great
flexibility and can be
used for emergencies
and routine events.

agencies have adopted
and train in it’s use for
