At least 22 people have been injured when decks collapsed on one another at a three-story home at the Jersey Shore, in the US state of New Jersey.
The collapse happened around 6pm on Saturday in the beach resort town of Wildwood, during the annual New Jersey Firemen's Convention.
Cape May Regional Health System says 21 people are being treated there after Saturday evening's collapse in Wildwood. At least three are children.
AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City says at least one additional person was taken there for treatment.
The conditions of the injured were unclear.
Nearby resident Joann Debito says she was sitting on her own deck when she heard a noise, turned and "saw the whole thing caving in".
She says she saw "two women running and screaming".
The collapse occurred during annual firefighters convention in the beach resort town. Firefighters were likely among those hurt or trapped.
