TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Fire broke out on the set while a television movie was being filmed at the Tucson Convention Center, injuring five people and forcing the evacuation of thousands arriving for a concert in another part of the building.
The fire started Friday night on the set of ABC's "Desperation," written by horror writer Stephen King.
"They were in the middle of a scene involving a mine shaft collapse," said Deputy Fire Chief Randy Ogden.

Three people were taken to hospitals for treatment of burns and injuries caused by falling debris, and one remained hospitalized Saturday, Ogden said. Two others were treated for smoke inhalation, according to fire officials.
