Authorities say there's been a shooting Tuesday at a Los Angeles County Fire Department station. Fire Department Supervisor Leslie Lua said paramedics responded to reports of gunshots shortly before 11 am at Fire Station 81, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of Los Angeles.

Neither Lua nor Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Trina Schrader had information about injuries or arrests.

A home about 10 miles (16 kilometers) east of the station is on fire, and there's a heavy police presence, but it's unclear if it's connected to the shooting and authorities didn't immediately have more information.

Police tape is surrounding the fire station in the Agua Dulce area near Santa Clarita, and police cars and ambulances lined the street outside. Agua Dulce is a remote community of about 3,000 people in the desert of northern Los Angeles County known for its rock formations and panoramic views.

The Fire Department described it as a "tragic shooting'' on Twitter, saying the agency is "still in the process of gathering additional information'' and it's cooperating with law enforcement "throughout this ongoing incident.''
