Look like all municipal agencies including the state left. But according to the reports…that changed and they are back! Along with a Nevada Type 3 teams being ordered.

Any insight in why Region 5 went with a Nevada T3 Team?

Region 5 (Feds) typically do not have established and rostered Type 3 Teams. They have the ability to throw together a type 3 team but with the proximity to NV, they most likely ordered what’s readily available?
As far as not ordering a CIIMT, I’m guessing the complexity analysis did not justify ordering one.

The Sierra Front Type III Teams made of a mix of CA and NV folks often take fires down as far south as Bishop. They have done this for at least 30 years. It has partly to do with the piece of the Toyiabe (now HT) NF and is in California and the interdigitation of BLM Districts as well as a common threat that these folks understand well.
