Fire crews responded to the incident at 12:22 p.m. Saturday on the 10700 block of Kyle Avenue. The fire was brought under control within an hour.
“Initial scene, the house was fully involved, but there was no signs of an aircraft in or around the area. As our crews worked to put out the fire, we did see debris within the structure that is aircraft debris,” Fire Chief Shawn Conway said during a media briefing.
The plane, a SOCATA TBM7, was en route from Des Moines International Airport to Anoka County-Blaine Airport, according to USA Today. The flight had originally departed from Naples, Fla., and stopped in Des Moines around 10:30 a.m. before crashing about six minutes before its scheduled landing time in Minnesota, the outlet reported.

“We are aware of reports that the plane that crashed in Brooklyn Park was registered to Terry Dolan, our vice chair and chief administration officer. At this time, we are unable to confirm whether he was on board, but we believe he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends, and anyone who may have been affected by yesterday’s tragic incident,” a U.S. Bank spokesperson said, according to WDIO.
The medical examiner’s office will officially confirm the identity or identities in the coming weeks.
The National Transportation Safety Board has taken over the investigation. The agency is currently in the process of documenting the accident site and began recovering the aircraft Sunday afternoon. The investigation is looking into all aspects that may have contributed to the accident, such as the weather, the pilot’s experience, and maintenance of the aircraft.
Tim Sorensen, an investigator for the NTSB, said during a press briefing Sunday that they believe there was one individual on board, based on preliminary information.
A preliminary report will be issued in 10-14 days.
