💨 Abstract

Three members of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arson and explosives unit died in a blast at a training facility. The cause of the explosion is under investigation, with a focus on whether it was a training accident. These specialized units handle bomb disposal, arson investigations, and event security. Training for these roles is rigorous and dangerous, involving real explosive devices and specialized equipment. Previous incidents highlight the hazards involved in such training exercises.
