Wildfire Mitigation Efforts at Technical Area 54, Area G, at Los Alamos National Laboratory

N3B is committed to wildfire safety. We work in tandem with Los Alamos National Laboratory to protect human health and the environment. N3B uses many different techniques to maintain wildfire safety including secure waste containers, fire retardant dome fabric, combustible control and mitigation, defensible space, and clear evacuation routes. All wildfire mitigation efforts are integrated into Los Alamos National Laboratory's Emergency Management Program. Secure waste containers. Waste containers are securely stored in fire resistant domes equipped with lightning protection, fire detection systems, and fire extinguishers. Fire retardant fabric. Fire retardant fabric is deployed around work areas to increase safety. Combustible control and mitigation. All highly combustible materials are restricted within facilities. Defensible space. A buffer zone is created between structures and surrounding wildland. Vegetation control is also key to this step. Clear evacuation routes. N3B maps out and labels clear evacuation routes for emergency egress. Coordination on wildfire mitigation preparation is paramount. We coordinate with these partners to ensure safety first. DOE Environmental Management, Los Alamos, Los Alamos Fire Department, Los Alamos County Government, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Wildfire readiness is everyone's responsibility. Let's stand together to protect what matters most. Cleaning up today for a safer tomorrow.
