Police and fire authorities arrived on scene and battled the blaze and evacuated surrounding businesses, Wells said.
It was not immediately known what type of plane it was or whether those injured were in the aircraft or on the ground, Wells said.
Video footage from KABC shows white smoke coming from the top of a large building.
The plane crashed near the Fullerton Municipal Airport, which has one runway and one heliport. It is located by the Metrolink, a regional train line, and flanked by a residential neighborhood and commercial warehouse buildings.
Fullerton is a city of about 140,000 people some 25 miles (40 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles.
