A Provincial Helicopters Bell 206L-1, C-GMHK (S/N 45286), was being used in support of forest fire operations in and around Sherridon, MB accompanied by a Manitoba Natural Resources safety officer. The pilot had fuelled the helicopter at the fueling pad in Sherridon and had lifted off the pad and at approximately 1/4 mile away when the left boost pump caution light illuminated. The pilot initiated a return to the fuelling pad when the engine suddenly flamed out. The pilot conducted an autorotation into a clear area near the shoreline of a lake. As the helicopter began to settle the pilot rolled the helicopter onto its right side to clear the rotor blades from the fuselage. The pilot and passenger exited without injury.
