A float-equipped DHC-6 Series 200 aircraft operated by Transwest Air with only 2 crew on board, was conducting a flight from La Ronge (CJZ9), SK to pick up fire fighting personnel at the Bar Fire, 46 NM NW of CJZ9. Immediately after takeoff, the flight deck and cabin filled with blue electrical smoke. The flight crew initiated a 180 degree turn for an emergency return to CJZ9. When the aircraft had landed safely on the water, the crew communicated with operations and then turned the electrical master switch off. The flight crew step-taxied the aircraft back to the water-base and secured the aircraft.
The operator's maintenance personnel determined that wiring near the heat mixing-valve motor was burnt. The damage was repaired and the aircraft was returned to service.
