A F-16 fighter plane has reportedly crashed into a warehouse at March Air Reserve Base outside Riverside, California. The pilot ejected but his condition is unknown.



Firefighters in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles, have requested a hazardous material response team, because the plane was loaded with ordnance and external fuel tanks, according to KNBC-TV.



The crash, which happened around 3:45 pm local time, started a fire that March ARB Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Holliday described as “not very big,” reported the Los Angeles Times.
