GASTONIA- Two firefighters were hurt while working to put out a fire in Gastonia Thursday night. 

Crews were called to a home on Courtland Drive just after 10 p.m. When they arrived, flames could be seen coming from the second floor of the home. 

Officials say a ceiling collapsed on the two firefighters. They were taken to the hospital but are expected to be okay. No one was home when the fire started, but several dogs inside the house were rescued.

The injured firefighters are 41-year-old Jamie Weyant, who has been with the department for 13 years, and 53-year-old Marco Gonzalez, who has been with the department for 8 years.

The Gastonia Fire Marshal's Office ruled the fire was caused by discarded smoking materials. Damage is estimated at $80,000.
