(Tulsa-AP) -- Several Tulsa firefighters were trapped inside a burning community center for a time when the roof collapsed while they fought a blaze at a Tulsa apartment complex.

Fire Captain Ray Driskell suffered a cut to his hand when he broke a window to rescue the firefighters Monday. Captain Randy Vaughn was taken to a local hospital after suffering a rapid heart rate. Neither injury is considered life-threatening.

The community building that was part of a Tulsa Housing Authority apartment complex burned to the ground.

Acting Assistant Chief Greg Neely says the cause of the blaze is still under investigation but is not believed to be intentionally set.
