Type 1? You mean?
not sure it meets type 1 criteria, RRU has many well qualified, highly experienced people in Unit, and this area has a ton of fire history and pre-planned options.

Team 3 just transitioned of the Hog today. CalFire Team 5 was on Hard cover
I heard the 30 closest Engines immediate need and a few minutes later requested 6 Alphas for tomorrow as well.
Look at the post above your initial post. It lays out the exact order for tomorrow by the IC, which includes 6 S/T Alphas. Right now as immediate need the IC will request individual engines as he/she will get them faster than ordering by S/T configuration. Tomorrow S/T orders make sense as they have time to form and travel.

Makes sense, most units can or have enough staff for a Type 3 in Unit team. Team 5 is on hard cover but wont be activated unless RRU submits for type 1 team to region. Office.

A lot of areas are establishing type 3 IMTs to manage short term incidents as well as the initial evolving incident prior to a Type 1 IMT coming in and taking the incident. Most of these teams have type 1 qualified personnel on them as well. I know of the North Bay IMT AND the Sacramento Regional IMT as good examples of established type 3 teams outside of the federal system. Don’t mean to digress from the incident at hand.
