On January 2, 2025, an aviation incident occurred near Fullerton Municipal Airport in California when a small plane crashed through the roof of a commercial warehouse, resulting in two fatalities, at least eighteen injuries, and a subsequent four-alarm fire.

Crash
The crash took place shortly after 2:00 PM PST in the 2300 block of Raymer Avenue in Fullerton, California, approximately half a mile from Fullerton Municipal Airport. The aircraft impacted the roof of a large commercial warehouse facility, leading to structural damage and a four-alarm fire outbreak that produced large smoke plumes visible from aerial footage. Two people were killed, including the only person on board and one on the ground. Eighteen more individuals on the ground were injured in the crash, nine of whom required transport to hospitals.
Response
The Fullerton Police Department received its first report of the crash at 2:09 PM PST. Emergency responders evacuated more than 100 occupants from the warehouse following the crash.
