“After hearing the plane and a crash, I rushed to my kitchen to prepare for work and saw flames from my back window,” Brown said.
When the crash occurred, Scott Gauthier said his mom yelled at him to get out of the house.
“When I ran out, I saw the entire barn area already engulfed with flames,” Gauthier said.
Shaughn Calkins said he was driving by when he saw the fire.
It was probably close to a quarter mile away, and you could feel the heat coming from the fire,” Calkins said. “It was billowing, so it was a big fire.”
Six Red Cross staff members are on the scene to assist.
“The Red Cross Disaster Action Team is mobilizing, and we’re waiting to hear more about what the community needs,” it said.
