Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Alfredo 'Freddy' Flores died on Saturday six months after a fire at a department training range.
A veteran Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy has died six months after he was severely burned in a fire at one of the department's mobile shooting ranges, a family spokesperson said Sunday. Alfredo 'Freddy' Flores, 51, of Sylmar, died Saturday evening at Valley Presbyterian Hospital, where he was being treated for third-degree burns suffered when a tractor-trailer range where he was getting re-certified burst into flames last October in Castaic.
After the fire, the department shut down all of its mobile firing ranges, launched an internal investigation and called in the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for help. It was at least the fourth time in less than a decade that a Sheriff’s Department mobile range caught fire. In 2016, a contractor working on a trailer parked at the department’s Tactics and Survival Training Center using a metal grinder sparked a blaze.
