The incident occurred north of Los Angeles, leaving the deputies in\u2062 critical but stable\u200c condition. As investigators delve\u200d into the cause of the\u200d blaze, Sheriff\u2063 Robert\u200b Luna has taken the \u200dprecautionary measure of closing \u200bother mobile ranges throughout the county.<\/p>\n<p>During a \u200cpress conference at \u200bHenry Mayo Newhall\u2063 Hospital, where the deputies \u200bwere initially treated before being transferred to LA General Medical Center, Sheriff Luna emphasized the importance of understanding why the fire occurred and preventing such incidents \u2064in the future.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/health\/dozens-of-high-schoolers-hospitalized-with-mysterious-illness-in-kenya-5505412?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>Dozens\u200c of High Schoolers Hospitalized With Mysterious Illness in Kenya<\/strong><\/a>  \u2064- 10\/6\/2023<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/cdc-data-shows-covid-hospitalizations-down-not-so-unexpected-5504748?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><strong>CDC Data Shows COVID\u2064 Hospitalizations\u200c Down: &#8216;Not so Unexpected&#8217;<\/strong><\/a>  &#8211; \u200c10\/5\/2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While\u2063 the \u2064names \u200cof the deputies have not been\u2063 released, Sheriff \u2062Luna revealed that one deputy \u2064has served\u2063 for 21 years, while the other has 17 \u200cyears of experience.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighters battled the blaze for over four \u2064hours, starting\u2063 at 9:30 a.m.,\u200b and were\u200c still\u200d working to extinguish \u200cit by late afternoon. The\u200b presence of live\u200b ammunition inside the trailer posed an &#8220;extreme danger&#8221; to the crews, according to Sheriff Luna.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting range, situated in Castaic, a community approximately 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, is part of a \u2064sprawling\u200c campus that also houses the Pitchess Detention Center. As a precautionary measure, the jail was placed \u2064on lockdown, although no\u2064 inmates\u200b were at\u2062 risk from the flames.<\/p>\n<p>One of the deputies was \u2063engaged in firearms qualification, a quarterly\u2062 requirement for department deputies, in one\u2062 of the trailer&#8217;s \u200dtwo &#8220;firing\u200d lanes,&#8221; Sheriff Luna explained.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the fire department received\u200c reports\u2062 of four injured deputies, but\u200b Sheriff \u2064Luna later confirmed that only two\u200c were hurt.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\"><em>By Stefanie Dazio<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What additional safety \u200dmeasures should be implemented to ensure the proper\u200d functioning of mobile shooting \u200branges \u200band prevent such incidents in the future<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Pital on Monday, authorities provided more \u200ddetails about the incident.
