Lockheed Martin Burbank Fire Department

== About ==
The Lockheed Martin Corporation, formerly the Lockheed Aircraft Company, operated a major manufacturing facility in the City of Burbank, in the southeastern end of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, California from March 1928 until 1992. 
==History==
Lockheed Martin Corporation is an American manufacturer specializing in the aeronautics and space sector, present in the USA, Canada, England and Australia. The company covers the sectors of civil and military aeronautics, information systems and global solutions, missiles and control systems, space systems and electronic systems in general. 
===Timeline===
*Brothers Allan and Malcolm Loughhead formed Alco Hydro Aeroplane Company in 1912 in Santa Barbara, California, it was renamed Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company in 1916,
*The company went bankrupt and Allan Loughead recreated Lockheed Aircraft Company in 1926 in Hollywood, California,
*In 1929, Allen sold the company to Detroit Aircraft Corporation, which in turn went bankrupt,
*The company was recreated once again by brothers Robert E. and Courtlandt S. Gross in 1934 in Burbank, California as the Lockheed Corporation.
*In March 1995, Lockheed Corporation merged for $10 billion with Martin Marietta to form Lockheed Martin Corporation.
*In January 1996, Lockheed Martin made a new major acquisition, that of the electronic activities from the Loral Corporation. At that time, Lockheed Martin was the world leader in the sector of defense ahead of McDonnell Douglas, with a 1995 turnover of 14.4 billion dollars.
*Lockheed was hit by an administration-ordered drop in Pentagon military orders by President Obama, leading to the dismissal of 730 employees in 2009, which added to the January 2010 elimination of 1,200 jobs out of a total of 140,000 (or 8% of the workforce).
===Lockheed Aircraft Factory, Burbank===
*This site specialized in the construction of military aircraft, missiles and satellites.
*Lockheed Aircraft Company, which has existed under different names since 1912, was moved to Burbank in 1928.
*The site was built on a stretch of land surrounded by orange groves and agricultural land.
*In 1929 the company was sold to Detroit Aircraft, but the bankruptcy of Detroit Aircraft during the Great Depression made it independent again in 1932, under the name Lockheed Aircraft Corporation.
*Operations were relatively modest until World War II, when Lockheed employed more than 90,000 workers to keep pace with war production. People from all over the country came to work at the factory, where some 19,000 planes were manufactured during the war.
*In May 1990, Lockheed announced a decision to relocate its Aeronautical Systems Company division from Burbank to Marietta, Georgia. All aerospace-related activities at the Burbank facility ended in 1992 and the facility was razed and redeveloped.
===Lockheed Air Terminal, Burbank===
In 1940, Lockheed purchased Burbank Airport and renamed it Lockheed Air Terminal. The airfield was adjacent to the factory, which allowed the finished aircraft to take flight. In 1967, it was renamed Hollywood-Burbank Airport. The facility remained Hollywood–Burbank Airport for more than a decade until 1978 when Lockheed sold it to the Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport Authority with fire protection becoming the responsibility of the Hollywood Burbank Airport Fire Department.
