Aircraft involved
Factual narrative
THE ATP CERTIFICATED PILOT AND HIS TWO PASSENGERS WERE RETURNING FROM A HUNTING TRIP WHEN THE TURBOCHARGED CESSNA 206 CAUGHT FIRE SOON AFTER LANDING. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE ENGINE QUIT DURING THE LANDING ROLL AND AN ATTEMPT AT RESTARTING THE ENGINE AS THE AIRPLANE CLEARED THE RUNWAY WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SHORTLY AFTER THE RESTART ATTEMPT, A FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NO FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS ONBOARD THE AIRPLANE AT THE TIME THAT THE FIRE STARTED AND THE FIRE WAS NOT EXTINGUISHED UNTIL LOCAL FIRE FIGHTERS ARRIVED.
