LLNL Emergency Management Plan (EPlan) <br />Rev 27 <br />January 2022 <br /> <br /> 32 <br />2.3.1 Field Emergency Response Organization <br />The field ERO is called out to respond and mitigate the emergency situation. The ERO operates <br />under the ICS, and is operational within minutes of activation. <br />To ensure an acceptable level of emergency response capability, the size and configuration of the <br />field ERO is maintained to provide an overall response capability that includes the application of <br />the necessary level of resources to mitigate consequences to workers, the public, the <br />environment, national security and to initiate recovery from an Operational Emergency. <br />The field ERO consists of personnel from the Fire Department (Fire, HazMat, EMS), the ES&H <br />Teams and the Security Organization. During normal working hours or for major off-hour <br />incidents, an individual from EMD will respond to the incident command post to serve as an On- <br />Scene Communicator of critical information between the IC and key elements of the LLNL <br />emergency organization. <br />2.3.1.1 Alameda County Fire Department <br />The onsite Fire Department has primary responsibility for providing the LLNL and SNL/CA <br />with emergency response services for fire, technical rescue, hazardous materials, and emergency <br />medical incidents. The onsite Fire Department is administratively a part of the EMD and is <br />operated and staffed by ACFD under contract to LLNS. Two full-time stations are staffed by the <br />ACFD at LLNL with firefighters at Site 200 (Station 20) and at Site 300 (Station 21). A <br />Battalion Chief is on duty for all LLNL emergencies, and resides at Station 20. <br />The ACFD also operates the ACRECC. Located at LLNL, the center also coordinates mutual aid <br />request for Alameda County. <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.
