Small plane crashes into Oregon residential building near Portland, engulfing condos in fire, officials say

A small plane crashed into a residential neighborhood Saturday morning just east of Portland, Oregon, sparking a fire in a condominium complex, officials said.   

Gresham Fire Chief Scott Lewis told reporters that the plane crashed into "a row of three-story condo units," four of which caught fire.

The crash occurred at about 10:20 a.m. local time in the city of Fairview, about two miles east of Troutdale Airport, the Gresham Fire Department reported. The Federal Aviation Administration told CBS News that the crashed plane was a twin-engine Cessna 421C. Lewis said that the situation began when air traffic control for Troutdale Airport reported an "aircraft emergency" and then spotted a "column of smoke" west of the airport.
