BURLINGTON — Burlington Police and Fire today responded to a reported plane crash in a wooded area off of Middlesex Turnpike.

During the response, the Billerica Fire Department covered the Burlington stations, and the Bedford and Hanscom Fire Department responded to assist. The Woburn and Bedford Police Departments responded to the scene to assist. Armstrong Ambulance also responded.

“I am grateful for the fast response from our officers and neighboring communities. Fortunately, the two occupants of the plane survived without serious injury,” Police Chief Michael Kent said.

The plane came down close to a Burlington town water treatment facility. Public works crews quickly shut it down as soon as they saw the plane coming down. There has been no impact to the Burlington public water supply.

The incident is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration, with the assistance of Burlington Police and Fire.
