"It appears most of the accident was in a barn area, so no one in the residence was hurt at all," Capt. Steve Tenney of the Keene Police Department told FOX 25.

Police asked drivers to avoid lower Main Street on Friday night as crews responded to a "plane crash with a building fire" at 7 p.m.

Images show large flames and a plume of smoke developing between two buildings. 

Residents told Fox 25 that the plane hit a storage building, which caught fire next to a small apartment building that shares a parking lot with a local church, Hope Chapel.

The building's residents were not able to return to their homes Friday evening, according to officials.

FAA officials told FOX 25 that the NTSB would investigate the crash.
