California Highway Patrol and sheriffs block off The Old Road with access to Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, Calif, Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023. A spokesman says four Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies were taken to the hospital Tuesday morning after a fire during a"training incident" north of Los Angeles. LOS ANGELES — — .
The deputies were listed in critical condition after being injured at the training center in Castaic, a community roughly 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.It was unclear how many total people were injured and what caused the blaze. Firefighters, using water cannons, fought the fire for hours. A KTLA helicopter over the scene showed firefighters spraying water into the smoking rear of a parked semitrailer.
The fire happened at about 9:30 a.m. at the facility located on a sprawling campus that also houses the Pitchess Detention Center, a county jail, the sheriff’s department said. About 10 minutes later, firefighters were dispatched to the scene and “live rounds” at the training center were making it challenging to fight the blaze, said Fred Fielding, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.The fire department initially said four deputies were taken to the hospital. The sheriff’s department later said two deputies were transported to the hospital.
