Just after 11 a.m., Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a plane crash just north of the Sisters Eagle Airport.
Just after taking off, the small Cessna plane had crashed into a wooded area and caught fire, officials said.
Deputies, fire crews and US Forest Service officials arrived at the scene and prevented the fire from spreading to nearby trees and homes.
The pilot and two passengers had all escaped before the plane became completely engulfed in flames. But deputies said they were all taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
The cause of the crash is unknown at this time and officials say it will be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration.
