Los Alamos National Laboratory Fire Department

==Profile==
The LANL Fire Department is operated under contract by the Los Alamos (City/County) Fire Department. LAFD provides personnel and equipment to man Fire Stations 1 and 5. The stations and apparatus are owned by the United States Department of Energy (DoE).
Los Alamos, aka “Atomic City,” is perhaps best known as the development and creation location of the atomic bomb which, under the code name "Manhattan Project," was the primary objective of the Los Alamos National Laboratory during the later stages of World War II. Established in 1943, Los Alamos National Laboratory consists of 1,280 buildings in 47 technical areas spread out over 37 square miles. The complex includes 11 nuclear facilities and staffs more than 10,000 employees. LANL’s core mission remains “assuring the safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear deterrent.” LANL maintains the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile and reports annually to the President of the United States on its status. It also conducts a variety of research, including but not limited to nuclear nonproliferation and border security, energy and infrastructure security, and counter measures to nuclear and biological terrorist threats.
==History==
The Los Alamos Fire Department was originally organized under Project Y / the Manhattan Project in April 1943 and initially served the community of a secret facility for research and development into the first nuclear weapon with 7 civilian firefighters and 25 volunteer firefighters. It took just 20 months when, on July 16, 1945, the world's first atomic bomb was detonated 200 miles south of Los Alamos at Trinity Site on the Alamogordo bombing range. The Trinity Site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975. Military services took over operations in September 1943 and provided fire protection until 1989.
