Scott Gaenicke, public information officer and division chief for Titusville Fire and Emergency Medical Services, says emergency responders found two airplanes off the runway, both on fire.

The incident was reported at 8:32 a.m. Saturday.

Gaenicke says two people, names, age and sex unknown, were rescued from one aircraft and were flown to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

He says they had severe burns. He says two occupants of a second plane, also unidentified, were killed and were believed to have died upon impact.
