Multiple first responders suffered injuries when a porch collapsed in Bell County.

The incident occurred early Tuesday morning on Hwy 66 between Pineville and Arjay, media outlets report.

First responders arrived at a home to transport a patient who was suffering from a seizure. As EMS workers were taking the person out of the residence and onto a porch, it collapsed, resulting in four first responders and the patient plummeting between 15 and 20 feet.

The patient was not injured in the fall, but all four EMS workers were transported to a local hospital.

The current conditions of the injured have not been released.
