Yesterday afternoon a plane was seen doing many dramatic, low altitude tricks and spins near County Line Road & Piney Lake Road. It drew the attention of many people in the area who were all subsequently watching when it crashed. The area is a nightmare of jurisdictional boundaries which caused a lot of duplicated response and confusion initially.
Aurora Firefighters were dispatched first, then South Metro and lastly Rattlesnake. Units from 3 counties responded to different locations for the same crash that people saw from different vantage points. The first unit on scene was Aurora Arson 1 who found an airplane fully engulfed and 2 acre brush fire with slow spread. Aurora Truck 14 made a little off road journey and was able to park within pre-connect distance and pull a line.
First shot walking up (sorry for the bad lighting)
