The primary reason to have a Deputy IC is to perform IC functions as relief for the IC, perhaps as preparation for becoming IC in the next operational period.
The Deputy IC will also carry out specific IC tasks as requested by the IC and may represent an assisting agency with shared jurisdiction or about to receive jurisdiction from the IC, as the incident changes mode.
For example, a fire IC may select a deputy from the Fire Marshal's Office (or other investigators) when the fire appears to be of suspicious origins. The Deputy IC may be instructed to oversee IC functions (during fire suppression) related to preserving evidence or providing access for investigators while firefighters are working for their own objectives. Once the fire is out and the fire operations terminated, the Deputy IC may easily transition to become the IC for the remainder of the investigation portion of the incident, with law enforcement operations.
Deputy Incident Commanders must be qualified as Incident Commanders and are appointed by the Incident Commander. They must be able to perform all functions of the Incident Commander if the need arises. In addition, they must be able to:perform specific tasks required by the Incident Commanderperform the incident command function in the relief capacityrepresent an assisting agency that shares jurisdiction

The Incident Commander (IC) may utilize Deputies such as Incident Commander Deputy. Deputies of the IC are commonly activated and utilized when the incident is large scale or the event is major. The Deputy can be from the same or a different organization/agency of the IC. Section and Branch levels of Incident Command might also use Deputies. So Command, Section and Branch levels is the commonplace where deputies are used in the Incident Command System. Deputies must also be highly qualified at what they are being appointed a deputy of as well. I hope that helps!
