CFDA 81.140: Los Alamos National Laboratory - Fire Protection

Objectives

The general objective of this Cooperative Agreement is to provide financial support for staff, response vehicles, specialized tours and training, and the use of two fire station facilities to the Incorporated County of Los Alamos to allow the County to provide an enhanced level of fire department services, including advanced nuclear facility capable, industrial fire suppression, advanced emergency medical, rescue, hazardous materials response, and other services through its municipal fire department.

Eligible applicants

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS: The fire department has an authorized staffing level of fire fighters and officers and civilian support staff. The fire department staff, in addition to being trained as conventional fire fighters responding to fires in residence and businesses, is also trained to respond to fires and other emergencies at nuclear and high hazard facilities. PLANNING: The fire department is responsible for the development of Pre-Incident Plans at necessary LANL buildings and facilities. PUBLIC WORKS: The fire department is responsible for hydrant testing at LANL. TRAINING: Fire fighters receive special training prior to engaging in fire fighting or emergency operations at nuclear and high hazard facilities at LANL, not only to ensure their safety, but to ensure that their actions contribute to control of the incident, versus making the incident worse by possibly spreading contamination or taking actions which result in unnecessary damage to mission critical or costly equipment.
