A small plane crashed Saturday morning in a residential neighborhood not far from the Portland International Airport in Oregon, officials confirmed.

Videos shared on social media showed a fire and a large plume of smoke that could be seen high over the tree line in Fairview. Videos also appeared to show damage to a house in the neighborhood.

The twin-engine Cessna 421C went down around 10:30 a.m., the FAA said, adding that it isn't yet known how many people were on board.

Gresham Fire said on Facebook that it had responded with the help of other agencies, including The Port of Portland, Portland Fire and Rescue, and Clackamas Fire.

The plane came down even closer to the smaller Troutdale Airport, which describes itself as a "flight training and recreational airport."
