CLARK COUNTY Wash. (KPTV) - A small plane crashed near the Battle Ground airport on Friday afternoon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Officials with Clark-Cowlitz Fire Rescue said they responded just after 1 p.m. to an “aircraft emergency” at the Goheen Airport. They found a single-engine aircraft engulfed in flames at the end of an airstrip.

According to the FAA, the plane was a Cessna C172.

Firefighters put the fire out and stopped it from spreading to nearby trees and bushes, but were not able to find any survivors in the remains of the plane, firefighters said.

Officials are working to figure out how many people were on board the plane, and if it crashed before catching fire.

The crash will be investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
