“No civilians were injured on the ground,” the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office said of the Magnolia Springs crash on Twitter Friday evening. Two individuals, presumably US Navy pilots, were confirmed dead following the crash. 

Baldwin County's Magnolia Springs is approximately 35 miles from Florida's Naval Air Station Pensacola and less than 48 miles from ST Engineering, the location of US President Donald Trump's Friday night campaign rally.  

Video footage and images from the scene have emerged on social media.

Members of the Foley Fire Department arrived on the scene around 4:23 p.m. local time to find a downed aircraft and one home ablaze. Several vehicles are reported to have been damaged in the Friday incident. 

The fire was fully extinguished by responding emergency personnel. 

The impacted area was struck by Hurricane Sally a few weeks prior.
