A plane crash at the Oroville Airport ignited a wildfire near the runways.
The crash, reported around 11:30 a.m. caused a fire which the Oroville Fire Department and Cal Fire-Butte County are fighting.
By the time Oroville firefighters got to the crash at the north end of the runway, the plane was completely engulfed in flames, said Oroville Public Safety Director Joe Deal.
The 10 people inside — eight passengers and two pilots — all made it out of the downed plane without any injuries, Deal said.
Once firefighters accounted for everyone who had been in the plane, they turned their attention to fighting the wildfire.
Cal Fire-Butte County Public Information Officer Rick Carhart said the grass fire was quickly put out and the plane itself was doused with water.
The jet plane had just been refueled with 480 pounds of fuel, Deal said.
The CHP closed a portion of Highway 162 near the airport because there was a fear that spilled fuel could ignite.
