BROOKLYN PARK, MN – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has confirmed that a small aircraft crashed in Brooklyn Park on Saturday afternoon, causing a fire at a residential home.

According to witnesses, the impact of the crash sparked flames that engulfed part of the house.

While the fire has since been extinguished, officials reported significant structural damage, including the roof being torn off.

Despite the devastation, the home remains standing.

Authorities have yet to confirm the number of passengers on board the aircraft or the severity of any injuries sustained in the crash.
