Two firefighters had a ceiling collapse on them as they battled a three-alarm blaze at an apartment complex in New Jersey Tuesday, officials say, but both are expected to be OK. 

One civilian suffered a minor injury in the fire at the Willowbrook at Hidden Lakes apartment complex in North Brunswick, authorities said. According to neighbors, a woman dropped a 2-year-old child from a second-floor balcony before jumping to safety herself. 

Eight apartments were destroyed in the blaze. The cause is under investigation.
