Cal/OSHA proposed penalties of $301,000 for the infractions that led to the deadly fire.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department faces hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for safety violations that contributed to an explosion that killed a deputy and seriously wounded another.It happened inside a mobile shooting range at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic on Oct. 10, 2023. In total, four people were injured. Two deputies were rushed to the hospital in critical but stable condition. The two others suffered minor injuries.
In the third citation, inspectors claimed that the sheriff's department knew about the unsafe working conditions before the explosion but failed to 'take sufficient steps to prevent the re-occurrence of fires in its indoor mobile shooting ranges,' according to the Cal/OSHA report. The regulatory agency claimed that the final two infractions directly led to the explosion.
