Firefighters rushed to the airport east of downtown, but the Piper PA-32 Lance landed safely, fire department spokesman Al Tamagni said. None of the seven people on board were injured, he said.

Tamagni did not know if the plane belonged to a commercial carrier or private pilot. Immediate details of the landing or damage to the aircraft were unavailable.
