At least two people were killed, and two others were taken to a local hospital, according to OCFA.

Video from a witness shows at least one two-story home engulfed in flames as neighbors looked on.

The video also shows what seems to be a small piece of wreckage from the plane burning in the street. Viewers can see a man drenching it with water from a garden hose.

Anaheim firefighters and deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department helped respond to the fires.
