According to the Clearwater Fire and Rescue Department, a small plane crashed Thursday night into a mobile home park in Clearwater.
Clearwater Fire Chief Scott Ehlers told a Thursday night press conference that the plane had hit a mobile home and caused the fires to spread to another three homes.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that a Beechcraft Bonanza V35 crashed into Bayside Waters, formerly Japanese Gardens, located on U.S. 19 just south of Clearwater Mall.
Officials said that the call was received at 7:08 pm on Thursday.
Officials from the FAA confirmed to the outlet the pilot reported an engine failure.
“We are on the scene of a small aircraft crash in a mobile home community south of Clearwater Mall. There are multiple mobile homes on fire. Firefighters from different jurisdictions are at the scene,” wrote fire officials on X, formerly Twitter.
A video from the scene shows an enormous fireball erupting out of the park.
