Incidents have occurred at this facility in the past
Following Friday's fatal explosion at the Biscailuz Training Center, renewed attention is being paid to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's history of safety incidents at its facilities. A sheriff's helicopter hovered overhead as emergency vehicles flooded the scene and civilian cars were directed out of the parking lot.

The department has faced multiple hazardous events over the past decade, including at least four fires at mobile shooting ranges used for deputy firearms training. In 2023, two deputies sustained third-degree burns during a trailer fire at Pitchess Detention Center.

The latest tragedy has intensified calls for a review of safety protocols across LASD training sites.
