LLNL Emergency Plan <br />Rev-23 <br />October 2017 <br /> <br /> 32 <br />The field ERO consists of personnel from the Fire Department (Fire, HazMat, Emergency <br />Medical Services), the ES&H Teams and the Security Organization. During normal working <br />hours or for major off-hour incidents, an individual from EMD will respond to the incident <br />command post to serve as an On-Scene Communicator of critical information between the IC <br />and key elements of the LLNL emergency organization. <br />2.3.1.1 Alameda County Fire Department <br />The onsite Fire Department has primary responsibility for providing the LLNL and Sandia <br />National Laboratories/California with emergency response services for fire, technical rescue, <br />hazardous materials, and emergency medical incidents. The onsite Fire Department is <br />administratively a part of the EMD and is operated and staffed by ACFD under contract to <br />LLNS. Two full-time stations are staffed by the ACFD at LLNL with firefighters at Site 200 <br />(Station 20) and at Site 300 (Station 21). A Battalion Chief is on duty for all LLNL emergencies, <br />and resides at Station 20. <br />The ACFD also operates the ACRECC. Located at LLNL, the center also coordinates mutual aid <br />request for the County of Alameda. <br />The contract with ACFD for emergency response services at LLNL is administered and <br />monitored by EMD's Fire Protection Division Leader, who serves as the LLNS Technical <br />Representative for the contract. <br />See Sections 4.1.4 and 4.1.6 for a description on the ACFD equipment and ACRECC operations <br />at LLNL. <br />2.3.1.2 Environment, Safety, and Health Teams <br />The ES&H Teams are composed of ES&H specialists and technicians from the ES&H <br />Directorate. The ES&H Teams provide direct support to Laboratory programs/facilities and are <br />the key interface between line organizations and ES&H support organizations. During <br />emergencies, they provide technical support and consultation to the on-scene IC, be it Security or <br />Fire. The IC works closely with the area ES&H Team through the ES&H Team Leader to <br />develop an incident action plan for controlling emergencies. This plan identifies health and <br />safety requirements, strategic goals, and tactical objectives to protect life, the environment, and <br />property. Under the direction of the IC, a liaison (e.g., ES&H Team Leader, deputy, or technician <br />supervisor) for the cognizant ES&H Team will coordinate all ES&H Team activities at the <br />emergency scene. <br />During normal working hours, ES&H Team members respond to the emergency scene and report <br />to the IC.
