PALMDALE — Los Angeles County Fire Department Hazardous Material teams were called to Lockheed Martin’s facility in Palmdale, adjacent Air Force Plant 42, on Monday, for a chemical spill, Department officials said.
Fire Department squads arrived at about 12:40 p.m., at 1011 Lockheed Way, and the hazardous materials team arrived about 10 minutes later, officials said.
The building was evacuated, but no injuries were reported.
The spill was described as a mostly static situation that did not escalate.
A fire department spokesman did not have any information on the type of chemical spilled, but published reports said it was nitric acid. It’s also not clear how much was spilled.
The incident was cleared about seven hours later, according to fire officials.
A Lockheed Martin spokesman could not be reached for comment, Tuesday.
