Two people were killed and 19 others were injured when a small plane crashed through the roof of a building near Fullerton Municipal Airport on Thursday, police said. Eyewitness News has learned the pilot and his 16-year-old daughter died in the crash. Police and firefighters responded to a furniture warehouse in the 2300 block of Raymer Avenue after the crash was reported just after 2 p.m. A four-alarm fire caused by the crash sent a plume of thick black smoke into the air that was visible for miles. Crews battled the blaze and dozens of workers were evacuated from the building. The fire was later extinguished.

VIDEO: Prime-time network television has been filled with shows featuring police, firefighters and other first responders for decades. “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago PD,” “Blue Bloods,” “Fire Country,” “SWAT,” “9-1-1” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” were all among the top 30 shows on network TV, according to Nielsen, in late November. But we asked real first responders how authentic their TV counterparts were. The answer: not much. “Not realistic at all. It’s just a joke compared to the real thing,” Captain Brent Jeffries, of the Gantt District Fire Department, said. “Typically in a fire, you can’t see anything,” Jeffries told 7NEWS.
