North Myrtle Beach Fire Battalion Chief Mike Davis Deploys to Texas as Part of Type 3 Incident Management Team

North Myrtle Beach Fire Battalion Chief Mike Davis (see photo) is headed to Texas as part of a Type 3 incident management team. He will leave from Florence, SC at noon today and will be deployed for 14 to 19 days.

When Mike's team is assembled, they will find out where they are going in Texas and the exact nature of their mission, and we will share that with you.

A Type 3 incident management team is a multi-agency/multi-jurisdictional team used for extended incidents. It is formed and managed at the local, state or tribal level and includes a designated team of trained personnel from different departments, organizations, agencies and jurisdictions.

Several days ago North Myrtle Beach Firefighter/EMT Thomas Brady deployed to Houston, Texas and is working as part of the South Carolina Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team.
