Several people were rushed to the hospital after a firewalking event Wednesday night.
All of this unfolded at Paradise Point Resort and Spa in Mission Bay around 8:30 p.m.
Hundreds participated in a company-bonding firewalk where people walk over a bed of hot wood pieces a witness told NBC 7 San Diego.
Several hours after the event, at least three adults called 911 reporting burns to their feet. Paramedics and San Diego firefighters responded at 9:45 p.m.
It's not yet clear if they were the ones who were injured or if they were guests or employees of the hotel.
The victims were transported to UCSD Medical Center. The extent of their injuries has not been released.
NBC 7 San Diego has reached out to the company that held the bonding event for its employees. They have not yet released a public statement.
A common firewalking event offered to the public is usually 8 and 12 feet long according to The Firewalking Institute of Research and Education (F.I.R.E.), an organization that offers training and certification to firewalking instructors.
The organization also informs users of its website “there is definitely an inherent risk when 
firewalking.”
It is not known if this firewalking event involved a certified F.I.R.E. instructor.
The image to the right was captured at an annual firewalking festival held in Toyko, Japan.
