SAN JOSE, Calif. - Fire officials in California say at least 21 people were treated for burns after attendees of an event for motivational speaker Tony Robbins tried to walk on hot coals.<br />
<br />
At least three people went to a hospital and most suffered second- or third-degree burns.<br />
<br />
Robbins was hosting a 4-day gathering called "Unleash the Power Within" at the San Jose Convention Center. Witnesses say on Thursday, a crowd went to a park where 12 lanes of hot coals were on the grass.<br />
<br />
Robbins' website promotes "The Firewalk Experience" in which people walk on super-heated coals.<br />
<br />
Witness Jonathan Correll says he heard "screams of agony."<br />
<br />
Fire Capt. Reggie Williams says organizers had an open fire permit and emergency personnel were on standby.
