The team is expected to arrive at the crash site later in the morning.
The twin-engine Cessna 525A crashed around 6:20 p.m. Sunday. The plane touched down at the airport, crashed into a hangar and burst into flames. It is unclear how many people were on board the jet at the time of the crash, or if anyone was inside the hangar.
That type of Cessna can carry up to eight passengers and two crew members. Fire crews have called the crash "unsurvivable."
Crews have to remove portions of the hangar, which began collapsing as firefighters arrived at the scene, before they can get to the plane itself.
One eyewitness said he saw the plane touch down at the airport.
"I watched it land, it was a perfectly normal landing," said Charles Thomson. "It wasn't an emergency landing. It was just a landing, and the tire popped afterwards."
Officials said the jet departed from Hailey, Idaho, and is registered to a creative real estate comapny at a Malibu address.
