(CNN)—Six construction workers were hurt when a large amount of scaffolding collapsed Friday outside a building under construction in Houston, a city firefighter said.
Video from the scene showed piles of metal lying on the ground outside a roughly seven-story building. The collapsed scaffolding appeared to cover a large section of a city block.
Senior Capt. Ruy Lozano, from the Houston Fire Department, told reporters that all the injured were workers at the scene -- not passersby or first responders. He described all the construction workers injuries as not life-threatening.

As to whether there might be more hurt or even any killed, Lozano said, "We don't have any confirmation of missing workers."
