“As crews were able to gain additional access to the aircraft, they discovered a third occupant in the aircraft who was also deceased,” per the statement.
The fire department said that no one near the home or on the ground were injured, adding that “firefighters performed multiple searches of the residence and confirmed no occupants.” The homeowners later told the authorities that “multiple people” were inside the house when the plane hit, but they all managed to escape unharmed.

“Crews were also prepared to engage in fire suppression in the event the aircraft and home caught fire,” per the statement. “Luckily, the aircraft and home never caught fire.”
Micah, a witness, toldKGW Newshe was “in shock,” adding that he “ended up getting a glimpse” of the plane spiraling in the sky and decided to shoot footage because “someone else has to see this to confirm what I’m seeing.”
“It still doesn’t really feel like it’s real,” Micah told the outlet. “I truly do feel sorry for their family and their loss.”
