A little plane crashed into a trailer park in Clearwater, Florida, on Thursday night. This caused a fire to start and it spread to the mobile homes. Firefighters say the fire was very big.
Firefighters got a call about a plane crash at 7:08 PM and went to the scene right away.
Clearwater’s Fire Chief, Scott Ehlers, said they got a call at the same time the airport said a plane was in trouble.
The air traffic control heard the pilot say “mayday” before the plane went missing.
A video of the accident at Bayside Waters mobile home park shows broken pieces all over the road.
Chief Ehlers told the news that four trailers were very damaged, and one was hit by the plane.
He said the fires were put out fast.
Three houses were checked for people but no one was found. The people living in the houses were inside when the plane crashed but they were able to get out safely.
Investigators are still trying to get to the trailer that was hit by the plane.
The pilot is thought to have died, he said.
The FAA said the plane that crashed was a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza V35. The plane had an engine failure before the crash.
The statement said we don’t know how many people were on the boat.
The FAA and NTSB will look into the crash and find out what happened.
