| VIDEOS: 3 killed after small plane crashes into Florida mobile home park, FAA says Three people died after a small plane crashed into a Clearwater, Florida, mobile home park and set homes on fire Thursday evening, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday. The victims include one person on the aircraft and two on the ground, according to the FAA. The crash happened around 7 p.m. and firefighters worked through the night on hot spots to get to the victims. The plane was mostly in one home, Clearwater Fire Chief Scott Ehlers said. At least three homes had fire damage, Ehlers said. Aside from the home that was directly struck, the people in the other homes were able to get out, he said. The pilot of the Beechcraft Bonanza V35 had reported an engine failure before the crash, the FAA said. Rick Renner, who lives in the neighborhood, said his house shook with the impact of the plane's crash landing. NBC NEWS Colorado: Denver's oldest serving fire station home to first Black firefighters PHOTOS: It's known to those who served there as the "Pride of the Points." Denver Fire Station 3. The oldest Denver firehouse still in service, built in 1931. And the only station where Black firefighters were assigned until the Denver Fire Department desegregated in 1957. Today the children of these earliest public servants have a deep appreciation for Station 3's commitment to excellence, and the pride that came in serving Denver's Five Points community. Beatrice Griffin is the daughter of Firefighter Sidney Frelow, who served in the late 1930s. "This was a very prestigious job for a man to have and he took great pride in it, it became more than just a job, it was a career and a lifestyle," said Griffin. Firefighter Charles Cousins' daughter is retired pediatrician Dr. Renee Cousins King. KCNC-TV CBS 4 DENVER Fire suppression foam 'inadvertently' released around one of United Airlines' hangars at Texas airport VIDEO: Cleanup is expected to last through Thursday night into Friday morning after fire suppression foam was "inadvertently" released at about 5:30 a.m. at one of the United Airlines hangars that dot a public service road at Bush Intercontinental Airport. It happened just off Wright Road, in a hangar adjacent to the flight attendant training facility. Large amounts of fire suppression foam seeped onto nearby parking lots, around fences, posts, over cars, and eventually on a portion of the public Wright Road. It wasn't long before the Houston Fire Department was called in to assist. "Because of its high expansion properties, it was as high as 30 feet," Houston Assistant Fire Chief Mike Mire, one of several HFD officials on the scene, said. Work crews spent hours spraying the foam with a defoaming agent.
