OAN\u2019s\u00a0Brooke Mallory<\/a> After a fire broke out during a training session north of Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, two Los Angeles County sheriff\u2019s deputies were immediately sent to the hospital, according to authorities.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Earlier reports stated that four deputies were injured in the incident, however, city officials quickly informed the press that there were actually only two victims involved.<\/p>\n Deputy David Yoo, a representative for the sheriff\u2019s office, stated that not much information was available yet, including the severity of the cops\u2019 injuries.<\/p>\n Nicole Nishida, a spokeswoman for the department, said that they are still looking into the specifics of what happened at the training facility.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re still trying to determine that. We know for sure there was a fire,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Firefighters were seen dousing a flaming truck trailer with water from a KTLA <\/em>chopper hovering over the area.<\/p>\n According to Fred Fielding, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the firefighters were called to the law enforcement training center, which is next to a county jail, at around 9:41 a.m. in the morning.<\/p>\n The injured deputies had already been brought to the hospital when firefighters arrived, which was around 11 minutes after the fire started.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to know why it happened and get to the bottom of it so we [can] prevent it from happening again,\u201d said Sheriff Robert Luna during a news conference at the Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Additionally, the identities of the deputies were not immediately disclosed to the press. One has reportedly worked for the department for 21 years, and the other for 17 years, Luna said.<\/p>\n Castaic is located around 35 miles northwest of the center of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n This is a developing story.
