A small plane crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, on Saturday afternoon, setting the house on fire, officials said. The aircraft, a small executive transport plane capable of carrying six people, struck the home around 12:20 p.m. local time as it was headed to Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Minneapolis from Des Moines International Airport in Iowa, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. There are no survivors from the small plane, Brooklyn Park Fire Chief Shawn Conway said at a news conference. It’s unclear how many people were onboard the plane. No fatalities were reported from inside the house. When the fire department arrived on scene, the incident commander saw a “fully involved structure fire,” Conway said. There was no apparent aircraft in and around the area until after the fire was contained, he added.
