Two people were killed in a small plane crash at the Oroville Airport Thursday.
Cal Fire Battalion Chief John Gaddie said the two deceased were the only ones on board and their identities have not been released.
Gaddie added that Cal Fire officials were dispatched to the crash at around 12:20 p.m. and that the plane went down nose-first in the dry brush.
"It did crash off the runway in dry grass,” Gaddie said. “Luckily, there was no fire involved with it. We did send the appropriate amount of resources due to the plane crash and the potential of fires."
Gaddie said the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will take over the accident investigation.
