More than 30 treated for burns after hot-coals motivational event

More than 30 people who attended an event with motivational speaker Tony Robbins have been treated for burns after he encouraged them to walk on hot coals as a way of conquering their fears.

Five people were taken to a hospital on Thursday night, while the rest were treated at the scene for burns to their feet and lower extremities, Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said.
